This “triggering” nonsense has gotten out of hand.

I couldn't agree more. If a student is allowed a veto on anything within a course that causes anxiety, why not homework, testing, and (shudder) grading?

Whoever called this tendency "narcissistic" was correct. The pattern I've observed in a couple of web forums is: "Oh, for me that needs a trigger alert. I am a victim of abuse and I, I, I, I, I..." ad infinitum. Ay, ay!

Yep. Sounds like reddit.
