This is something I totally agree with. I mean...I understand people's needs for their constitution's and sensibilities to be protected...and I guess it depends on the genre of a specific piece...but I have always been a bit in two minds about TWs. I put them on my more grisly and uncompromising work because...well I don't want to be an arse and upset the people I like on this platform...particularly as the content is not usually aimed at upsetting or questioning them anyway. Like...if I wrote a horror piece...I would hope people would realise it might be scary, shocking or whatever, so really shouldn't need a TW. If it is a social commentary piece...again...people should expect that it might be confrontational or something. I feel a lot is missing in terms of the impact of a piece when a TW is needed, but at least understand to a degree why they are used. So...while I accept them, I agree, that they can be overused and detrimental... Great job on another great haiku...see how much I wrote in response lol!
This is soooooo true! Always on point as usual! I loved it!
Like your exchange with Ward. I'm not sure about my views on this.
A nice thing to think again and again
I went to a play last night...it had adult content and needed, of course, a warning beforehand that audience members may be "triggered" by its theme(s) , etc. that they might feel strong emotions....sigh. I should hope so.
