The one that stands out to me is "Trigger Warning" - that's not something you should say because it might cause people feelings of anxiety. Of course, the reason it causes people feelings of anxiety is because they know it's a phrase used to indicate that something bad is going to come in upcoming content. Instead they want you to use "Content Note" (though I will note that they weren't even competent enough to follow their own guidelines - they use "Content Warning" at the top of the list). So... what happens when people start to associate "Content Note" with the fact that something bad is upcoming? Do we move to "Upcoming Information Alert"?
The only thing this list does is give credence to Tucker Carlson and co's complaints about performative wokeism.
Ford flipped the switch which he saw was now marked "Mode Execute Ready" instead of the now old-fashioned "Access Standby" which had so long ago replaced the appallingly stone-aged "Off"
Full agreement here. Content Warning was and is a perfectly sufficient term. We’ve had them on TV shows for as long as I remember as “Viewer discretion is advised.” messages. They’ve been on the internet too as NSFW and NSFL.
Their primary purpose is for deciding if you want to view material in the first place.
Example from university: One of my media classes was going to show a clip of “Passion of the Christ”. We got a handout explaining the content of the movie and purpose of showing it and were told to opt out if we weren’t conformable. It all handled perfectly reasonably.
This list is not a reasonable way to handle this. It lacks nuance.
