Shows and TV

I'm opposed to trigger warnings for the same reason I'm opposed to participation trophies. Part of maturing is learning that uncomfortable things happen in the world, and that you will not always be successful.

If you don't want to see uncomfortable things, perhaps you should not be watching The Sopranos, or Sons of Anarchy, or Yellowstone, or Hill Street Blues, or MASH. Stick with Disney+ (but maybe not, I watched Lion King last night in honor of the passing of James Earl Jones and cried like a baby).

Serious question, where do trigger warnings end? I am triggered by any father showing approval for their son. (Hell I'm choking up just typing that). My wife and daughter will tell you that no matter what: TV, Movie, Audio Book, or even commercial, it will destroy me, sometimes for a few minutes sometimes longer. I have never seen a "Warning! This show contains graphic fatherly approval of their children that may be upsetting to some viewers" I would never think of making an issue of it either. My emotional fragility is my issue to deal with. Not someone else's.
