I do see my theriotypes as part of my being. Since I'm on the mental side as well I see no point in naming them.

But if others want to do that or experience their therianthropy/otherkinity differently that should be okay.

i support and don't support tws honestly.
I had a friend who knew someone who wanted 'socks' tagged which is clearly a joke or they're telling themselves that triggers them when it doesn't.
I do think certain things like blood/gore should be mentioned if its in the picture you're sending though and if you're reading an online fanfiction or something, the author should mention beforehand if the story includes topics like self-harm, drugs, or something that may genuinely trigger someone. Of course actual books and authors don't need these warnings, as topics like that can be anywhere, that's how it is in mature books.
Then again, if you're triggered by something so much it genuinely hurts you then maaybe you shouldn't be on the internet at all.

You do what you want to do. If you wanna name your theriotype, go ahead, if you don't that's fine too. People shouldn't be frowned upon for it. I don't want to name my theriotypes but if that's the way that other people feel comfortable who are we to challenge them?

this just seems like a mean thing to say because for a lot of people who had names in their past life use it as a way to keep all of their lives in order for organization, not because they're misinformed. -_-

I agree with a lot of what the others have said about tws/cws. For me, it actually causes as more harmful than good in a lot of senses. It makes me worried that something bad is going to come up. I would rather it just happen and if it's something that makes me uncomfortable I just don't look at it/listen to it. A lot of discord servers/communities that I'm in go overboard with the tw/cws. It's also concerning that the majority of them are anywhere between 13-15 years old. What I mean by that, it's sort of setting them up to think that the adult world will have tws everywhere when that's not true. I'm not saying that I don't have triggers, I'm just saying that stuff is going to catch up to you eventually. So there's not always going to be tws to protect you or warn you. Anyway, weird bird's talk over. Thank you for the psa Dust!

im,, still getting over trigger warnings. like i have some stuff that makes me feel real bad, but i don't ask for others like.. to care? like its ok to be triggered for me cause it is slowly letting me get through it

For what it's worth all I did was post a summary of a conversation several members had on TG Discord yesterday.

Okay from now on I won't even mention stuff like this anymore. It's in my opinion not reasonable to just: fill in the blanks. You do not know me and you can't expect me to put detailed private stuff people can use against me openly on TG.

I'll zip it about my health from now on.

But if you want to assume I throw my phone at random people in real life due to them mentioning stuff then go ahead.

Don't know how you come to these odd conclusions everytime but whatever. I know I'm vague and I guess it's that.

If you don't give people any information, they are going to fill in the blanks with their immagination. It's just the way it works.

However my point was, that on TG, the reasonable is expected.

Also those reactions don't seem reasonable to me, especially as a reaction to something that doesn't really affect you personally. Perhaps you should try and control your behaviour a bit more.

Imagine how it would be if you applied for a job and during the interview your to-be employer asked you something uncomfortable and you threw your phone at them. I imagine that would not work out very well for your employment prospects.
