Unpopular opinion

I'm disquieted by the trigger warnings. I feel they are worse than what happen in the story, like they've been trivializing the reason why it was first implemented. Mixing what's important and what's not.
A trigger warning because they say one joke about illegal immigration?
I don't know if it's just me, but I feel bothered by them.

    Sorry, i'll try to be better at it. I asked a friend of mine to tell me what she finds triggering and she suggested that the illegal immigration thing might be a sensitive topic for some people. As for the other triggers, i'll try asking around more. It's just that some people are more sensitive than others and i don't want to trivialize their trigger as much as i don't want the triggers to be put in for trivial reasons.

    um... a trigger can be trivial for you but not for other ppl? i mean a picture of food can be triggering for someone with eating disorder.

    I do understand that some people are more sensitive than others, I'm not disregarding them or you for wanting to help. That's just what I felt, I don't know how other people react when seeing these trigger warning. Just make me expect the worse, because in my head that's for traumas.
    That's just my feelings but then when something hard will really happen, I'll have discarded the trigger warning thinking that's an exageration and may feel shocked.
