'Triggered'.
It is a real medical term for people with ptsd, going back to Vietnam war veterans. Or WWI, if you include 'shell shock'.
.It does not mean 'slightly uncomfortable'.
I don't think posting trigger warnings is bad at all, and I know trauma is trauma - abuse or war. It's just really overused to the point where noone takes it seriously any more.
If I'm bloggning and someone asks me to tag 'tw:toast' because they have toaster trauma, I would. The GDPR 'we taken your cookies' is way more annoying.
