FURTHER EXPLANATION OF TRIGGER WARNINGS (TWs) & CONTENT WARNINGS (CWs)

✦ What are both Trigger Warning and Content Warning?
Trigger Warning and Content Warning are used to warn people of a certain content that might bring a potentially harmful emotional response. CWs are usually considered less triggering than TWs.

✦ Could anything be possibly triggering?
It is possible! But there are common trigger/content warnings that people use. E.g., rape, suicide, death, abusive, animals, animal cruelty, pornography, harsh words, etc.

✦ Is it important and necessary to use TWs and CWs? Why?
For the sake of people’s safety and comfort, we want this base to be a safe place! TWs and CWs help people to be prepared on what content they will encounter.

✦ How to use TW and CW?
Start by writing TW or CW — Add two slashes — Add the keywords, clearly. Without censoring. Make sure to use space before and after the slashes.
