> it appears as though trigger warnings only serve to increase anxiety until the trigger is experienced

So, I'd see things like this as more warning people that something contains content they might want to _avoid_. The analysis seems to be more about cases where people read the warning and then _consume the content anyway_, but is that really the common case?

It's not, which is why the entire analysis is BS.

If the subject of the experiment isn't given the choice to opt out, the experiment is flawed.

Is the subject of the experiment is indifferent to the content being warned about to begin with, it is meaningless.

And if not, it's just abuse.
