Trigger List

Trigger: A subject that causes emotional distress when brought up. 

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE LIST BEFORE MAKING ANY REQUESTS FOR TRIGGERS 
 
The following is a list of triggers. Please read through them and pay attention to what 
channels can discuss those topics without trigger warnings. Additionally, we have a 
couple of server rules listed here that, while they don’t require any TWs, need to be 
observed! The list is organized by category, with the categories being in alphabetical 
order.  
 
When requesting a trigger, please clarify if it's images only, mentions, discussions or 
overall. 
 
Note​: ​Triggers that revolve around ​identities​ (i.e. French people, names, etc) will not be 
added to the trigger list. ​Note: ​Previously there were punishments for improper tagging. 
Until otherwise noted, staff will only place down the tag-end and/or request you add the 
tag to your message.
