one of my friends and his childhood bff dressed as Kirk and Spock for Halloween when they were 5

Excuse me while I die of the cute! ...did they grow up gay for each other in a case of life imitates art?

A whole bunch of derailing went on with warnings for misogyny related crimes (rape, consent issues, so on) being translated into "you'll want me to warn for EVERYTHING so I should just warn for NOTHING" which, yeah, not the same thing. Commenters have rightfully pointed out the percentages of assault survivors being a substantial portion of women everywhere, with who knows how many instances of repeated instances of assault. Even so, I think that if even one person is spared being triggered by appropriate warnings, then listing those warnings is vital. Being able to live without triggers is an incredible privilege, and one I wouldn't want to take away from anyone because I know how much triggers really suck. I just wish more people could understand that, and the impact triggers have. It makes me break out my shiny new Spock icon.
