    If this triggers someone’s PTSD going outside will trigger them a bunch no matter what. Like respect is important but at some point you gotta factor in other interests like artistic/political expression. Plus if you constantly baby people with that kind of mental illness they won’t ever get better. And I say this as someone who has been diagnosed with PTSD.

      The solution to this mess is not simple, but it will not be to hide things that may offend people, to stick heads into sand or control speech.

      The very idea that someone needs to follow a “non-offensive” guide in political commentary is very much a part of how the us is in the mess it is.
