There's a 0% chance I'll ever watch Joe Rogan's Netflix comedy special.
But don't you want to hear his hot take on "this Bruce Jenner thing"? I'm sure it's super insightful.
Perhaps when people make light of the word, they are not automatically making light of all PTSD sufferers as some might jump to claim, but of a certain type of person, which anecdotal and written accounts confirm the existence of. .
But see...you don't get to decide that. That may be what you INTEND, but it's not the message you're sending. It's the same as "Oh, I mean gay as in BAD, not gay as in, y'know, 'gay'."
"Political correctness" was once a self-mocking term of the left. It was adopted by reactionary assholes and quickly morphed into "I'm upset that I get called out when I'm a bigoted piece of shit." "SJW" is much the same, actually, and "triggered' is kind of a similar case (except that the original usage wasn't mocking).
Go on Twitter right now and do a search on "triggered". Look at what the overwhelming majority of people using the term in a mocking way are like. Draw your own conclusions about what that tells us.
