Columbia students claim Greek mythology needs a trigger warning

[Ideologue]

Trigger warning: world's worst pun. :Lol:

Trigger warning! For real, for once?

[The Larch]

It has to be taken into account that in the article several academics and people from that world are also harsh critics of trigger warnings and consider them ridiculous nowadays, so I'd say that they're far from being prevalent.

[MadImmortalMan]

I think they're more a form of internet snark than anything. Like in-group slang. I'm not really taking it that seriously at this point.

[Admiral Yi]

I don't get the impression that the Columbia Multicultural Advisory Committee think they're engaging in an internet snark.

I actually read Catullus in Latin in college and in our Loeb Library copy of Catullus, that poem was present but very heavily censored.

The original Latin or an English translation? Maybe a trigger warning would have been better than censorphip then.
