and the band played on

I have a lot of things to say about triggers and warnings...most of it probably things a lot of people do not like to hear. But today's been a hell of a day emotionally (as a culture studies and twentieth century history and media geek, I'm pretty devastated), and I don't trust myself.

In a nutshell: I don't understand what some people's damage is. And said people are pretty much not the people who are being triggered.
