My first semester in college I was in a Contemporary World Lit course, featuring graphic descriptions of rape, racism, and religious discrimination. One student asked the teacher to cover over everything sexual in the final book with a black marker, and this wasn't even the most sexual of the books. Trigger warnings on 'disturbing' art, to me, is an excuse to pretend the world isn't a screwed up place. It's ignoring the issues at hand, which I cannot support.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
