Pat Riot Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I was reading a news article on MSN News (Yes, I should know better - it popped up in a search) and the following line was the first line in the article. Trigger Warning: This article contains information and details about alleged sexual assault and/or violence, which may be upsetting to some readers I swear... Are we seeing the start of these types of labels on News Articles? Seems like it might be appropriate in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 My father-in-law was the comptroller for a group of product liability lawyers in Boston. He told a story about how they won a $5 million judgement. Apparently the manufacturer of a vacuum cleaner was found negligent for not installing a label to warn against inserting one's man-parts into the beater bars.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 These trigger warnings in news articles seem to have just recently started. I've noticed them in just the last few days. We should have one on the headingshere on the SASS forums: "Trigger Warning: the following forums have discussions of triggers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
