A new subject buzzing around the internet is the proposed use of \u2018trigger warnings\u2019. Books are facing the very real possibility that they might have to put these on them, in case people are offended by the content.<\/h6>
Make no mistake about it, the creeping shadow of censorship is being cast on your work. This isn\u2019t the first step, but it\u2019s a dangerous one. Allow me to explain.<\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

First of all, the phrase \u2018trigger warning\u2019 is nonsensical, the kind of meaningless political double-speak we were warned about in the novel, 1984, and countless times since. When political correctness demands a new name for something, you should always be warned and wary.<\/p>

What is a trigger? In literal terms, it\u2019s something that releases a reaction from something else. In terms of a firearm, the most common use of the concept, it\u2019s a mechanical device that is pulled to release the reaction inside the weapon that ultimately fires a bullet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Many people are triggered by guns, to the degree that some people find the above image genuinely offensive. The picture actually isn\u2019t of a firearm at all, it\u2019s an airgun and isn\u2019t capable of hurting anyone. It nicely illustrates how ignorance of a thing inspires fear where understanding it often makes the fear go away.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In psychological terms, the word trigger has been in use for some time in cases of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Certain sounds or images can easily cause severe anxiety attacks specific to the individual. This is a serious issue. Getting offended by an idea you don\u2019t like is not a serious issue, and to hijack <\/span>the trigger concept is to overstate just how offended the person really is by several orders of magnitude.<\/p>

What we\u2019re really talking about is having content in your book that could upset someone who reads it. Well\u2026 Is that really a bad thing? Isn\u2019t that the point of stories, to teach lessons, to promote positive changes, to freely exchange ideas? Perhaps some people are actually against all that?<\/p>

There are people who are unfortunate enough to have to deal with all manner of issues. Some people don\u2019t have the full use of their bodies, some don\u2019t have full use of their brains. Let\u2019s take the example of someone who doesn\u2019t have the ability to walk. They will likely end up with a wheelchair, and you would hope one would be given to them for free so that they can have reasonable access to the world around them. Now, what we don\u2019t do is have teams of people carrying them around. We\u2019re smart enough to know that the handicaps other people have shouldn\u2019t hold back the entire population.<\/p>

What we do instead is make reasonable adjustments so that we\u2019re not making their lives any more difficult than it needs to be. In this case, we have as a society created a medical profession that can help as far as possible with getting them close to a normal life.<\/p>

But this is far more insidious. We\u2019re facing a small, but vocal, minority who feel that literature and art should bend to accommodate the needs of a very tiny few, when it should never have been required to bend at all.<\/p>

We already make more than reasonable allowances with content. It\u2019s human nature to avoid going too far with our descriptions. You don\u2019t read many novels where the descriptions of human acts revolt you to such a degree that you are unable to read further.<\/p>

We are generally self-monitoring and most of it works. On top of that, our publishers flag the content, warning the audience what to expect. We also add a blurb and have genres, informing the buying public about the material they\u2019re considering.<\/p>

What they\u2019re asking for now, is additional warnings that won\u2019t actually make sense, if we\u2019re smart enough to actually think about it.<\/p>

Cigarette manufacturers put pictures of cancerous tumours on their boxes; sales increased. We changed the ratings of movies, and people just found ways around them. These measures are known never to actually work at stopping the content reaching the buying public, at least the ones we\u2019re using these measures to protect.<\/p>

So why would we want them anyway?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The suggestion proposes that some people have such serious mental health issues that the terrible trauma might be triggered if they hear about things that might remind them of it. Well, for the most part, that\u2019s nonsense. One of the most common debilitating mental conditions is depression, and it wouldn\u2019t be possible to write a book without at least one character feeling less then emotionally stellar. Another is post-traumatic shock syndrome: are we talking about putting warnings on books about war that warn of war related content, or do we just assume anybody suffering PTSD would avoid books about war if it was likely to cause them issues? Didn\u2019t certain countries try that with bags of peanuts and the whole world laughed at them? Did we learn nothing?<\/p>

Do we really expect our novels to have lengthy warnings on the back for an incredibly small minority of people? To be clear, we\u2019re not just talking about people who can\u2019t deal with reading about an event. We\u2019re talking about people who are also so completely out of touch with reality that they\u2019re unable even to exist in the real world, by understanding their own weaknesses. We\u2019re talking about encouraging and enshrining victimhood.<\/p>

You see, as well as having emotional problems that would destroy their mental equilibrium, they\u2019re also so helpless that they\u2019re unable to regulate that for themselves, and need the whole rest of society to do it for them. I suggest that people like this don\u2019t even exist. Are we really expected to believe that some people enjoy literature, but reading a few lines might destroy them, but they just read anyway and expect other people to have dealt with all that for them?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

But where are the people who are genuinely afraid of the depiction of violent imagery? We now have the incredibly illogical situation where hoards of \u2018useful idiots\u2019, a political term used for the conditioning of an ideology where people are programmed to spread a message that goes against their interests, actually want trigger-warnings to protect others, who only exist in their imagination. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is like me demanding that the sun shines less brightly because I don\u2019t want to be burnt.<\/p>

There\u2019s an old fable about a king who demands that the entire roads of his country are covered with leather, since the stones are hurting his feet. A wise man eventually advises him to wear that leather on his own feet, thus inventing the shoe.<\/p>

It isn\u2019t our job as writers to look after the shortcoming of each and every member of our audience. It\u2019s our job to express our truth so that our words, and the journey\u2019s we describe might add to the good in the world.<\/p>

We\u2019re already told what we can and can\u2019t say. We\u2019re told what to think, we\u2019re told who is good and who is evil. But now they\u2019re taking the first step towards telling us what we can and can\u2019t include in our work.<\/p>

This won\u2019t stop with a warning on the cover, history teaches us that. If we allow that step, they\u2019ll be back with more demands. We have almost no freedom left and it\u2019s up to us where we draw the line.<\/p>

It\u2019s way beyond time that we all stood together and told these people that they\u2019ve gone far enough. The content of our work is not theirs to modify. It\u2019s ours to express, and it\u2019s not negotiable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
