If we can show that this sort of stuff is causing psychological harm, and we can show that increased psychological harm is happening, then certainly there is connection to be made that has empirical support.

You can't, really; no one really knows why suicide rates among young people are rising, but they definitely are:

Despite concern over the rising suicide rates, researchers aren’t sure of the exact causes. A rise in depression among adolescents, drug use, stress and access to firearms might all be contributing factors, experts say.

Some mental-health experts suggest that social-media use among teens might be fueling the increase in mental-health conditions and leading to greater suicide risk, and some early studies have linked smartphone use to anxiety, depression and sleep deprivation among adolescents.

The recent visibility of suicide in the media and online might also increase suicide death rates, experts say.

I'd link to the raw CDC data, but it's in a PDF and I'm on my phone at my kids' football game and I can't figure out how to do it.

you said there is empirical support for the claim that “trigger warnings” (an absurdly ambiguous abstraction) is causing suicide rates to increase

obviously none exists, I am just waiting for you to admit it

of course suicide rates are rising

that is very clearly not what dustin is claiming or what we are asking him to substantiate

I don't think you need to worry.

I never claimed it was? I was responding to a specific question UD had, but I'll fade back into the background again.

Umm..

Yes it is. Empirical support is any sort of support for an argument that is derived through empirical methods.

But there are a billion factors that cause psychological harm, how can you link it specifically to trigger warnings?

also we never really addressed that dustin compared experiencing personal trauma like being raped to having a family member who was part of the batista regime be executed for being a slave owner

empirical support would require a control group that isn’t exposed to trigger warnings showing lower suicide rates than a group that is exposed to trigger warnings

otherwise you are just making a supposition

You keep saying trigger warnings when I'm talking about a whole emotional-harm-prevention-based-worldview.
It's the emotion-based thinking itself. It isn't trigger warnings per se.

To prevent you from leading this conversation in a manner that is harmful to other poggers, something that has become sort of a casual pastime for you.

It's pretty hard for you to not find harmful stuff anywhere I'm pretty sure.
But that's not something I can help.

I’m not picking on you, this is a joke post.

“Nobody knows why suicide rates among young people are rising”

*world is literally on fire, pandemic seizing the globe, decades of war, genocides all over the place, economic disparities widening, climate change not being addressed, world leaders continue to be corrupt and deceitful, opiate crisis, mass shootings, people working at screens and in cubicles all day, distanced from nature and purposeful labor, and much much more*

Lol I don’t think it’s the trigger warnings idk just a feeling

I guess that's fine. I'm just about truth and objectivity-- and yes those things can be triggering. I appreciate your outlook.

There's not a lot of clairvoyance required for me to just read your posts where you've made it clear this is all really about the Wiggles modkill and you don't care about the feelings of others.
