:3 this is a good idea! we’ll be sure to add it soon! ive only seen ½ the series but this is a lot of them~! We all know what these are, at this point. They’re everywhere — on YouTube and TikTok videos, on Netflix movies and series’, on almost every content streaming service we use.

We use them to guage whether a series or show or movie is appropriate, or if we even want to watch it at all. But with them being so common, it’s easy for us to become numb to the fact we rely on them far too much — and blind to the fact they shape how we experience... When we’re fully reliant on trigger warnings, we stop examining why we care about them. We don’t stop to think about why we use them. In theory, trigger warnings and content warnings are supposed to act as just that: a warning. Not a barrier.

Not a wall. Not a locked gate. Not a sign saying ‘Turn back now’ or a locked doorway with ‘Abandon hope all ye who enter here’ written above it. They’re just supposed to be a warning of what we’re about to voluntarily experience. But in reality, we use them as a map to follow exactly. We use them as a reason to not watch something, or to avoid a certain series or movie.

From this, we quickly become too reliant on them to tell us whether something is safe. And today, we equate “safe” with “good” far too often. This is why trigger warnings and content warnings make us more likely to avoid watching something, rather than simply being aware of it and watching it anyway. Watching anime can be fun and entertaining, but self-care and safety is an important part of enjoying yourself! Watching anime can be fun and entertaining, but self-care and safety is an important part of enjoying yourself! Now that a few posts are up, I figured this would be a good time to officially announce the start of Trigger Warning: Anime!

The goal of this blog is to offer a non-biased assessment of potential triggers in various anime so people know what to avoid or expect when looking for something new. Additional information such as dub availability, genre, and series length will also be provided, and a directory should be up and running in a day or two. Anime can be a really fun, enjoyable hobby, but personal comfort should always come first. Here’s hoping this blog makes blending the two just a little bit easier! Content Warning/Trigger Warning: This article contains discussions of severe anxiety, panic attacks, mental distress, and other material that may be triggering to some readers. Please consider your personal comfort and headspace before engaging with the article.

One of the many beauties of entertainment media is how it allows audiences to engage with difficult themes in a theoretical setting. Though viewers witness and empathize with the characters and events unfolding on screen, those experiences remain within the realm of fiction. What happens, then, when on-screen events remind audience members of their traumas, and suddenly become all too real? Trigger warnings and content warnings are used to alert viewers of material that they may find disturbing due trauma and mental distress. Today, the use of these warnings is expanding, particularly in the news and on social media. In the entertainment industry, however, the practice is far from comprehensive.

The use and effectiveness of trigger warnings is heavily debated. For this reason, I am disclosing the fact that I am not a medical, scientific, or psychological expert—this article is written entirely from my own personal opinion and experiences, and people with valid knowledge... However, I believe that proper trigger warnings are necessary as viewers balance engaging with challenging themes in film and TV while taking care of their mental health. In the past two years, I have struggled with intense anxiety and consistent panic and anxiety attacks. Despite recent improvements, I am wary of situations and entertainment content that remind me of the omnipresence of fear and loss of control that comes with the onset of anxiety. One generic evening, however, my family chose to watch A Hologram for the King, starring Tom Hanks.

The film is supposed to be a comedy-drama, but for me, one single unexpected scene twisted it into a memory reel of the most anxious and distressing moments of the past two years of... Zoë Kravitz’s directoral debut film, the psychological thriller “Blink Twice,” released a trigger warning via social media on Thursday, just days before the film releases in theaters. The trigger warning, a type of alert that lets viewers know that a project includes sensitive content, such as a depiction or discussion of domestic violence, comes after Blake Lively’s latest movie, “It Ends... “‘Blink Twice is a psychological thriller about the abuse of power. While this is a fictionalized movie, it contains mature themes and depictions of violence — including sexual violence. This may be upsetting or triggering for some viewers,” reads this week’s statement, which was joint-posted by “Blink Twice” and Amazon Studios.

The warning ends by offering support to those seeking it through the site, BlinkTwiceResources.com. With the warning, “Blink Twice” may have been aiming not just to protect potential viewers, but to avoid the backlash “It Ends With Us” has been facing for not warning audiences of the domestic...
