Just how many of the majority pampered spoiled rotten upper class brats in that school have experienced violent trauma in your estimation?
Most of them have not even gotten mud on their pants or scraped their elbow playing outside, if anything.

if it's even just one of them, what does it hurt to have a content warning?
movies come with ratings that tell you what kinds of content are in them. do you object to that as well?

It starts with warnings, then moves to ratings which then leads to banning anything rated a certain way.
Of course, what could it hurt?
The death of 1000 cuts is still death.

mm no.... i don't buy that. you can certainly still see whatever kinds of movies you want, and they've been rating them for decades.

Oh really? I beg to differ. In many places seeing something rated a certain level is illegal. In addition, it has historically applied to books being banned then burned. And lat I checked, we were talking about literature.
This is a well known pattern, and I for one refuse to repeat history because of weak willed snowflakes that cannot handle a little discomfort. If the minority feels this way, then they should adjust, not force everyone else to pander to their weak willed minds.
Strength of mind is a powerful tool to have to live life. It is a shame they were never taught this valuable lesson.

i think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

i'll be sure to tell the next vet who gets upset by loud noises that he just needs to have a stronger mind.

Wouldn't the best approach be to get them the needed professional counseling instead of putting warming labels on everything that might trigger them? Ir does addressing the problem surgically not fit your socialistic approach

people can be receiving counseling and still appreciate a content warning. counseling doesn't fix every problem like snapping your fingers, you know.
not sure where surgery comes into it, though? you can't excise trauma with a scalpel.
