triggerkiváltó

A triggerkiváltó, or trigger warning, is a statement at the beginning of a text, video, or other content that alerts the audience to potentially disturbing or sensitive material. The purpose of a trigger warning is to allow individuals who may have experienced trauma or have specific sensitivities to choose whether or not to engage with the content. These warnings are typically used for topics such as violence, abuse, self-harm, or other psychologically distressing themes.

The concept of trigger warnings has gained prominence in online communities and academic settings. While intended to promote safety and consideration for vulnerable individuals, trigger warnings have also been a subject of debate. Critics sometimes argue that they can be overly broad, potentially hindering open discussion or encouraging avoidance rather than coping mechanisms. Proponents, however, emphasize their role in fostering empathy and creating more inclusive environments. The effectiveness and appropriate application of trigger warnings remain ongoing discussions.
