Something only whiny SJW pussies who can't face reality use
Like seriously, trigger warnings/words are fucking retarded, just because you saw a post or video that "triggered" you doesn't mean you have to throw a shit-fit.

If you don't like what you see on the internet then get the fuck off and grow up.
