And moderns claim the Victorians were prudes. /sarcasm on/ "Jane Eyre" needs a trigger warning because Charlotte Bronte uses the word faggots. One cannot offend the G in LGBT with the possibility of not knowing the original definition of the word faggot is. /sarcasm off/

To save time, every last thing should come with this warning: “This item might be distressing to the self-absorbed and emotionally fragile.”
Oh, wait. That was a bit harsh. Perhaps that warning should come with its own warning. I’m going to have to think about this for a bit.

These films will need ratings now.
In the 1970’s I am sure a movie had to be awfully dirty to get an R rating. Today Jane Eyre will need a PG.
The pendulum swings.

If you really want to make a Libtard distressed and “triggered” make them read the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.
Guaranteed to put an industrial strength knot in their panties.

What’s truly distressing is society is playing along with these widdle whinies instead of admitting they’re mentally ill.

For the poorly educated, this is a faggot.

And by the way, gay means light-hearted.

Distressing? They should have to read,”The Jungle”
by Upton Sinclair! The most depressing thing I’ve ever read.
It gets worse and worse for the characters and then
ends as a plea for socialism.

There’s a lot of literature I read as a kid that was “distressing”.
I survived.
