One of my favorite 'I need this tagged' page. The crying cat meme is my favorite from this list.

I forgot about these. Also gotta add balloons to the list. User has a phobia of them, she didn't want to go into details on it.
-Flashing. Used to protect the epileptic--yet like body horror, is used liberally for just about any gif and video online.
Bet they went through a panic attack from coming up with their own trigger word list.

I once saw a trigger warning for spicy food. I don't think it was a joke or anything because the blog was full of different dishes but only fatty and spicy food had #trigger_warning on them.

In all fairness I can see PTSD from having your colon chemically stripped by Indian food as being a legit thing

My favorite will always, always be "tw: suicide" after someone tells another user to kill themselves. That shit is fucking hilarious.
Scopophobia was a big one for a while on the tumbles. Sensible people would say "that phobia refers to eye contact in real-life by actual human beings" and the tumblrinas would keep on tagging pictures of chibi anime characters looking at the viewer with it. I don't see it as often anymore, but I've also unfollowed a lot of people who did that bullshit.
Oh, here's a good one: bluespace. Tumblr updated their photo format at some point to be transparent, if I recall correctly? Or something like that, something that exposed a lot of tumblr's default blue color on photo posts. And people asked for that to be tagged. They were triggered by vast expanses of blue... on a blue website. I never saw any sort of explanation for that. What fucking level of autism do you need to have for that to be something you want to be warned about?

I think a trigger warning for fandoms is the one trigger I can get behind.
I've seen ones where people want trigger warnings for a particular name because "they're my abuser". Which is tumblrese for "they said a mean thing to me once".
These brats want the publicly accessible internet to become a safe space. They'd actually be better off on LJ where the options are a little better. Then again I think it's mostly about attention. What is the point of telling people not to trigger you if they can't see it? Who's going to make you feel special then?

The most bizarre "trigger warning" I've ever heard of was for this:
I really can't begin to comprehend it, to be honest.

I saw a trigger warning for Broccoli once.
It WAS from a HAES hamplanet though, but it still makes me laugh.

Oh, hey, I actually know the answer to this one. tw: bluespace came out of a change Tumblr made to the layout of a post. Previously, images would have a small (about 5px) white border clearly separating the image from the background. On the new layout - the current layout - images seamlessly touch the edges of the post. This led to posts such as this one that actively incorporated the blue background of Tumblr by making the background of the image the same color.
Because it's Tumblr, people started flipping their shit and claiming that posts like that made them disassociate and believe that they were hallucinating/sleeping/whatever and that they had to recover and bring themselves back to reality after seeing one. So people started tagging them tw: bluespace.
In other words: autism.

Thanks! I actually remember that now. I forgot it was still what we were using because NO ONE tags for bluespace anymore (at least not on my dash).
It was the most ridiculous shit. Someone would make a cute post with a blue background to make it look transparent or whatever and people would LOSE THEIR MINDS. A sensible update to the post formatting became the most triggering update ever, and now, however much time later... no one cares.
Ah, tumblr.

Food, followed by a post about tagging Tumblr posts so Muslims don't get hungry/butthurt during Ramadan.
I've also seen food tagged to be sensitive to people with eating disorders, which I don't find as ridiculous. Semi-ironically the person I know who tags food is fat.
