The ick of „your triggers are your responsibility”

I’ve always felt kinda icky about that phrase but couldn’t pinpoint what was my problem with it. Today I spotted the nuance.

I completely agree that society is not gonna bend backwards towards anyone feelings and it’s the responsibility of the individual to deal with sudden triggers. (Not seeking them, not engaging with disordered spaces, blocking disordered people, coping etc)

My main problem is people purposefully posting triggering content and using that phrase to put all the responsibility on the triggered people. Like, posting body check and going „if you felt uncomfortable it’s on you”.

It reminds me of people doing huge fast fashion hauls and replying to any criticism with „there is no ethical consumption under capitalism”. You are kinda right, but it doesn’t give you a free pass to create more pollution and enviromental damage with your irresponsible actions.

What are your thoughts about said statement?
