I've just been browsing. You're the one who keeps putting it into my feed just because you know I don't like it. And yeah, I get angry when I'm triggered. It's called a fight or flight response for a reason, and any veteran can tell you what that reason is. Now you want to fakeclaim a mental illness? You're just like every other She-Ra fan who claims to like the show because it portrays trauma sympathetically, and then goes on to attack mentally ill people.

You can't expect the world to accommodate for everything you struggle with. These memes are doing nothing unreasonable to the average person, people seem to be enjoying them. If you are getting triggered this badly by something so benign then you're going to have to solve it yourself. If we would block every meme that triggers somebody on the world, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many left.

OP has been triggering me on purpose. Not being an asshole on purpose isn't an unreasonable accommodation.

How so? Most of these memes seem to be just She-Ra images with some funny text. Does OP personally know you? Or do the images/text somehow refer to you in some way?

I'm sorry, but from Lemmy I cannot use that link without creating a Kbin account.

Putting it in your feed? They don't have control over what's shows up in your feed, you do by being allowed to block users and communities you don't want to see and if you're at risk of seeing things that might trigger your PTSD then the communities you subscribe to should be curated and you're the only one who can do that.

The content they're posting follows the community's rules, you can't ask them to stop posting it.

My criticisms of the "dictatorships are great" show also follow the rules

It's not as if it was constructive criticism or the place to complain about the origin of the image in the meme.
