Trigger warnings do exactly the other thing.
They say, oh, is there something that bothers you?
We'll warn you if it's going to come up, and you can go over here and put your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.
That doesn't work.
What's going to happen when you get out in the world and there's nobody there to say, oh, we're getting ready to talk about something that might upset you, so you get to go in this other room and sit in the dark for a while?
