http://chrishernandezauthor.com/2015/01/02/microaggressions-trigger-warnings-and-the-new-meaning-of-trauma/
Chris Hernandez discusses the difference between "trauma" and "trauma trauma" and the sorts of people that are devestated by the first kind. He is (trigger warning) not polite. He (trigger warning) gives several examples of those who declare themselves to be victims and those who have experienced some form of life-altering adversity (trigger warning) without being consumed forever afterwards by it. He even discusses some people who (trigger warning) overcome their trauma.
I'm upping my contribution to fund a massage therapist for Boomhauer's world tour. He's going to end up (trigger warning) with arms like Popeye if he's not careful on tour.
stay safe.

Holy sheite!!!!

I feel traumatized. He used the "F" word, multiple times. He is clearly engaging in repetitive microaggression against my tender sensitivities.
Of course, I'm a troglodyte practitioner of microaggression myself, it seems. Awhile back, on another forum, I commented to another forum member that the word to describe being cautious about something is "wary," not "weary." To my everlasting shame, I fear I severely traumatized the dear lad.

Holy crap. Once again, I repeat one of my dad's favorite sayings: "People got it too good!" When you don't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from, when you don't have to dig ditches for fourteen hours a day to keep a roof over your head, when your biggest trauma is being away from social media for more than an hour, this is the kind of crap you have time for as a 'life priority".
We might as well forget the "Boomhauer Tour". It would take a million Boomhauers to kick all these asses. And do we really want a million Boomhauers out there? :laugh:

*Sheds tear* He puts it into words so much better than I can upon finding out about all these idiots suffering from "microaggressions"
-
They would feel better about the microaggressions if they were delivered by kittens.
PS: and to shamelessly steal this from the comments:
"Oh, and if anyone accuses you of a microaggression, just reply “I microapologize (for any microoffense you may have microsuffered)”

New, aggressions to mope over.
Nanoaggressions: Microaggressions that occur to others that one reads about after the microaggress-ee whines and snivels about it online, causing the reader sympathetic butthurt from the third-person microaggression.
Picoaggressions: Microaggressions that have not occurred, but that one speculates about, either inwardly or in writing online.
Femtoaggressions: Nanoaggressions that occur to others that one reads about after the nanoaggress-ee whines and snivels about it online, causing the reader sympathetic butthurt from the third-person nanoaggression.
Attoaggresion Singularity: Point at which micro-, nano-, pico-, and femto-aggressions overwhelm the internet and moper consciousness and the entire world descends into a never-ending and ever-expanding universe of butthurt.
-
He even discusses some people who (trigger warning) overcome their trauma.
I sometimes wonder how much of the difference comes from just being raised and/or naturally inclined to go off somewhere and do the socially unacceptable things that help one get past the initial effects; cry, break (your own) *expletive deleted*it, scream, generally throw a tantrum, or sit and stare blankly without interruptions. There's a lot to be said for taking anywhere from a couple minutes (annoying person) to a week (loss of a loved one) alone to get that part out of your system and be ready to get on with life.

Maybe just sell a lot of Boomhauer masks and declare one day a year week to be Boomhauer Day >:D

LOL. This heteronormative neaderthal spent 2 weeks in the ICU once along with an additional 6 weeks in a hospital bed and my sensitive inner child is deeply *expletive deleted*ing damaged by it. Not.

I think that's considered to be repressing your feelings or something.
I'll never understand why some people want an audience when they cry, but seems that's like the thing to do these day, be it a shrink or everyone you friended on FB.

One of my ex wife's better business ideas would have just been too hard to insure; charge people to rent a small concrete room where they can just go smash anything they want in private. Have a side concession reselling Goodwill reject dishes and such, and some padded rooms where people more inclined to punch and kick the walls can indulge themselves.

To me it sounds like what happens when we have 20+ years of oprah, dr. feel and various other purveyors of pop psychology and overinflated self-esteem- everyone has an affliction to talk about, and if you don't its because you are to afflicted to admit it. [barf]

Someone once explained to my why life sucks - it keeps us from floating off into space.
PTSD is a biotch at the best of times, and kicks butt at other times. I'm never going to "forget" what I did and saw, and so far experience tells me that trying to shove it in a room and lock it there just pisses it off. I understand that - finally (kinda, sorta). But not only do I hate listening to myself whine and moan and thow a pity party, but even more so I seem to hate having folks hold me and pat my hand/head and tell me "There, there, it'll be all better" when they have no freaking idea of what "it" is. It's not a question of "not giving in" because I've done that more than once. It's more that life seems to have more stuff for me to do.
Those "traumatized" snowflakes seem to me to have nothing better to do.
But then I'm biased.
stay safe.

Even with the ones who do understand what "it" is perfectly, I would rather they back way the hell off and wait for me to have my alone time first. Sure, a hug might be a big help later, but if you try it too soon, you're just a big squishy, reactive target when I'm looking for something to punch. Tell me where you'll be when I'm done, then keep a safe distance.

The majority of these people act offended or hurt or traumatized for two reasons: oppression points, and to steer the discourse by setting the rules for what is and what is not allowed to be discussed.
-
I go off and hide, I have my little meltdown and let my brain reboot.
Seems to work well enough. I'm getting on to 31 and I haven't offed myself yet, so there is that.
And, I have noted that if people do find me (or just are around when I can't hold it out) the ones that just sit with me and not say anything do much more good then the ones that try to "fix" what's wrong.
As Kaylee said, "some things just can't be fixed". The special snowflakes not only can't have their feelings get hurt, but when they do get hurt it has to get "fixed", and never mind that feelings get hurt and that doesn't always get "fixed" is just a fact of life.
-
I think we have all seen spoiled little kids who don't cry until they think "mommy" is paying attention or to get mommy to pay attention. Fast forward that thinking with no zero maturity into physical adulthood.
What other maturity lessons did they NOT learn? That is almost scary to think about.

http://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2015/01/04/counter-culture-2015-lets-be-offensive/
Andrew Klaven speaks truth - terrible, hateful, hurtful truth:
And so we will have to offend people. A lot of people. A lot of the time.
I mention this because I notice the idea has grown up recently — especially among the young — that offending people is wrong per se. This idea — taught at universities and in entertainments and in the media — is wholly false. Rudeness and unkindness are very often unnecessary — much less necessary than many counter-cultural warriors suppose — but offending people is unavoidable. It is a natural outgrowth of telling the truth.
stay safe.

Sucks being a Libertarian, when it's so painfully blatantly obvious we need the purge. (not the B.S. movie, a real purge) And knowing that actually getting to purge would just fail harder, and destroy the liberty of those who remained anyway.
Catch-22, Kobiashi Maru.

Talk about resolving microaggressions...
I've often thought of starting a pie fight company.
Tentative business model to be fleshed out:
You go in and drape an organization's largest conference room with tarpaulins, provide the folks with coveralls, and provide ten (at least) cream pies for each individual and let them have at it.
Then you go in and clean the place up for them.
Expenses: Cream pies, coveralls, tarps, removing and storing fragiles, cleanup crew, insurance, "No Guns" signs.
Income: What the market will bear.
Franchisees, anyone?

You know, just watching that relieves me of a few milliaggressions.

We did a pie-in-the-face fundraiser one time, since one of our people worked for some mega-grocery type place. It got pretty revolting when they got to the squid cream pie that had been sitting in the heat for ~10 hours.

I was thinking of canned whipped cream on cardboard plates prepared just before the event.
