While I completely understand everyone has triggers that are specific to them, this is a masterlist of triggers I think most people are, or should be, aware of. Every trigger is important, every single one, but these are ones I’ve seen people most affected by. Under the cut I’ve got a small list of triggers and what I mean by them. Due to the nature of this post, it may be triggering to some people.

What is a trigger?

Trigger: Tr - i - g - er A topic, phrase or word that emotionally sets someone off. Could refer to anger, or reliving a traumatic experience.

Some common triggers.

Self harm – Anything that suggests any type of self-inflicted injury should be tagged with this.

Eating disorders – There are many different eating disorders and you should tag them specifically to the disorder the post is relevant to, but if you’re unsure then you can just tag it under the general bracket of ‘eating disorders.’

Rape/Sexual Assault – Anything that suggests sexual violence, attacks or even anything about these topics should be tagged. Even if it is a post saying about how awful rape is, it should still be tagged because even the very word can trigger people.

Blood – Some people have a genuine fear of blood and it can make them really ill. If your post has blood in it- tag it.

Abuse – Whether it is emotional, physical, verbal, or even cyber it should be tagged. While you should try and tag it with the specific type of abuse that it is, you can still tag it under the general bracket of abuse.

Homophobia – Anything that is remotely homophobic should be tagged. Even if you’re in character and your character is making a homophobic slur, tag it.

Racism – Like homophobia, anything that is even slightly racists should be tagged, along with in character slurs.

Guns – When tagging guns you should also try and tag the way they are being used, for example in a school shooting.

Religion – Any derogatory terms about religion should be tagged.

Bullying – Even ‘funny’ videos about that one kid beating up the bully should be tagged.

Mental illness – Anything that suggests someone/something to do with a mental health disorder should be tagged.

Depression - Some would say this falls under the mental illness category, but this should always be tagged on it's own.

Anxiety - Like depression, it could fall under other categories, but it's best to tag it on it's own.

Cancer – With so many people being affected by cancer it should be tagged even if it is a post saying about how awful cancer is.

Food – This is a ‘controversial’ tag. You may not want to trigger-warning tag it, but you should tag it with some sort of food tag.

Violence – Posts promoting/degrading violence should be.

Death – Discussing death or posts about death should be tagged.

Epilepsy – Posts with a lot of flashing images should be taged with this.

Suicide – Anything that suggests the taking of ones life should be tagged with this.

How should I make a trigger known?

And the best way to do that is to do either to tag

tw: and the trigger, or trigger warning – the trigger.

Or to make a small part of the post that says the post may be triggering.

If think any triggers should be added to this list, just let me know.
