(ha ha - I had to put a trigger icon on my trigger question! ironic)

I am wondering if there is any way there could be some GENERAL guidelines posted about what needs a trigger icon. I know that different things are triggering for different people....for example, movie theaters are very triggering for me, but I KNOW that is super unusual and would never expect a trigger icon on a post about going to the movies.

However, I think there are certain things - like rape - that are probably triggering to a number of people. I am wondering if there is some way that there could just be some loose guidelines or suggestions- like if a post is going to mention rape/rapists, details of cutting, suicide, SA - then they need a trigger icon?

I don't want to come across as being oversensitive (although maybe I am!). I just think certain topics need that icon.

I've been following a thread in psychotherapy that took an unexpected turn that was very triggering for me. (no, it wasn't about movie theaters lol). I bet some other people were triggered too....

I have NO idea if this makes sense or is possible, but I just wanted to throw it out there as an idea.

Thanks for listening!
Thanks for this!
