I definitely agree with this. Horror is a genre that shouldn't have to be censored or flagged to death with 'Trigger warnings' just because someone can't handle a word or certain scene. I don't understand why anyone would even want to come to a site that hosts an enormous collection of things they can't handle emotionally. In my opinion, if you can't deal with the horror genre, find a genre you can deal with instead of ruining things for everbody else.

I love horror, I was raised in it. I don't like, nor do I want, someone to tell me I can't read or write something because someone, somewhere, is offended. Someone will always be offended, even if the story is just about some ponies eating grass and nothing else.

Some content, such as child abuse and rape are interesting and well...terrifying, as it's meant to be. That statement seems a little awful, doesn't it? I have been through child abuse, I have been sexually abused. When I read a story that contains those elements, I don't get offended and cry for 'trigger warnings'. Some of favorite pastas contain these things, because that's whats scary to me. I connect more with the character, per se. I don't go through any traumatic PTSD moments that send me into fits of screaming like a banshee at the writer.

By the logic of these people, I shouldn't read a story about depression because I have depression and it might do something to me (I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to do to me, but they're pretty adamant that it does it). I'm sorry if there are other people that actually do get offended and cry over it, but again, they shouldn't be on a site that is heavily laced with it.

Can't there be just one place on the internet, just one, that tumblr hasn't infected? I don't want feminism and 'trigger warnings' shoved in my face everytime I get on the internet because someone's delicate little feelings were hurt. I'm going to write whatever I want to write, because if everyone followed the dictations of 'trigger warnings' and not offending anyone, what would be the point of writing? There wouldn't be any realistic characters, just a flat character in a flat world, doing absolutely nothing because it might offend someone if they...you know, did things.
