"it's known in psychology that avoiding what triggers you will only make your ptsd worse."

Sorry, that's not how psychology works. Uncontrolled exposure to triggers (aka...not labeling anything and just letting people stumble into it completely unprepared, or actively forcing people to look at things that trigger them without their consent) makes them worse. The entire point of a trigger warning is to let people with that trigger know what they're getting into beforehand, so that they can prepare themselves and look at it on their own terms. Whining that trigger warnings are ~evil~ and are ~just special snowflake coddling~ implies a complete lack of understanding as to what purpose a trigger warning serves, as well as rather selfishly stating that just because you personally don't need something means nobody else should. They aren't you, you aren't them. Don't act like you know what's best for a complete stranger.
