Triggers to be aware of and warn for

In an effort to ensure the safety of our community, we ask you to be aware of these triggers and warn for them when they come up. Discussion involving triggering content is not prohibited, but be respectful of our members and warn for them. If you’re posting an image, please post the image in a link or within a collapsed thread that has the trigger warning in the parent comment.

If you are bothered by a comment, you can report it for its triggering content (even if your trigger is not already on the list) and we will do our best to rectify the situation.

If you would like anything added to this list, you may leave a comment below, or message either one of us privately via Tumblr (our accounts are linked in our IntenseDebate profiles). If you need something added, please message arctic_hare via zir tumblr inbox (linked in zir ID profile, anon is on). Comments are now disabled because of abusive remarks directed towards MoElskerDeg. - arctic_hare
