I guess it might be about...
Sometimes I hold off reading posts with trigger warnings. Because sometimes I'm not really in the space to deal with what might lie within.
Sometimes I feel guilty holding off reading posts with trigger warnings. Because usually when people are putting trigger warnings on their posts it is because they are talking about something really hard for them and they are really needing some support.
And then someone musters the courage to read your post with a trigger warning on it...
And might feel a little like you are laughing at them. At their vulnerability.
Just trying to explain why some might find your joke a little hard to take... I know it wasn't your intention etc.
