“Specifically, we found that trigger warnings did not help trauma survivors brace themselves to face potentially upsetting content. In some cases, they made things worse.”https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/trigger-warnings-fail-to-help.html …
The study adds to the evidence that such warnings are countertherapeutic. Not that I expect it to change anyone's mind; we live in 2020.

I could've told you they'd be countertherapeutic, but aren't they less countertherapeutic than engaging with the work they're warning about?

"don't mind me just ignoring your point to post my non sequitur condemnation of echo chamber culture or whatever as if you hadn't spoken. smh nobody listens to reason any more :("

I'm not ignoring the point, but responding to the mischaracterization upthread. It's not that warnings made no difference if people were required to read the material; they made things worse. The question of whether that's made up for by being able to avoid stuff is a good one
