Triggered

I think ideas like this are bound to be unpopular in a writer's group but if we are to be honest - who would they hurt? A better idea might be to make trigger warning editions available for those who want them for a slight upcharge.

Yeah, a bunch of writin' folk are not going to like this.  I am trying to calm myself.

Haven't heard of Douglas Murray before, not sure I agree with all his views, but his rant is fair.

yeah, he isn't necessarily on my side of the political spectrum [not that i particularly have a side] , and i would probably disagree with him a good deal more than i would agree; but, this discussion made me remember hearing this rant a while back [he's talking to Sam Harris]; and i think, although far too black and white to be applied in all cases, there are bits of the rant that are definitely worth consideration.

anyway, maybe it's just because i like conflict, or appreciate its necessity for creativity, that i think this kind of tepid censorship, or social sensitivity, is good for the soul. and in a healthy society, there is always some pushing and pulling, rebellion and conformity. it used to be sticking two fingers up to the system; now, and inevitably, the system has changed and so too, necessarily, has the resistance.
