Feel free to bash me for my opinion as is the way of the Internet. Thank you.
But, then it is your responsibility to avoid what you find triggering or deal with the consequesces of a triggering situation. You cant expect people to not talk about something simply because you find it triggering.
I think we all find something positive in SH'ing, otherwise we wouldn't do it so should we avoid talking about and exploring these feelings because it may trigger someone? Is avoiding them, not just contributing to making these feelings more taboo?
