Would have up voted but the lack of citation and pointless censorship pushed it over for me.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This all seems correct as far as I know, but generally speaking we should reject infographics without source info
Also "Antisocial" does not mean introverted. It means to react violently to social situations.
Err.... The phrase "Gaslighting" came from the movie Gaslight.
The idea of being "Triggered" came from Trigger Warnings.
Psychology may have their own understanding of those terms, but I don't think it has the original usages or widest popularization.
Trigger warning came from the psychological term for situations or stimuli that bring on panic attacks or obsessive thoughts.
Okay, but didn't what happen in that movie in line with the actual psychology column?
Look this is an art imitating life imitating art discussion that I don't think its going to go anywhere, I'm just saying, on the one hand I appreciate the post trying to clarify things for people misusing these terms but on the other hand I don't think it's being honest with how they're being misused.
If someone doesn't lie to you and pretend it's not a lie, that can still be the start of Gaslighting and should be called out as quickly as possible so people know they can't do that.
That's not a misuse or problem that needs to be corrected just because it's not exactly what happened in a 1930s movie. Which is by the way still pop-culture not "actual" psychology.
A psychologist didn't come up with it, an artist/writer did. Science doesn't get to claim all authority all the time and humanity should be relearning the fact that art and culture DOES produce knowledge.
Posts like this, the dismissal of cultural or "pop" phenomena as less authoritive is part of why we don't - that's my problem with it, okay?
Why the hell did you censor abuse?
Tangentially related, "Cultural Appropriation" was a an anthropological/historian term that meant defining and controlling another's culture. A good example is the English making it illegal for Scots to wear kilts in the 1700s. It is not personally using a hairstyle associated with another group despite what the term sounds like. The people that use that meaning literally culturally appropriated the term from the original group, under the real meaning of the term. People trying to tell spanish speakers that they are "Latinx" is another example of the original meaning.
wh* is thi* so ********?
This reeks of right wing bullshit. Definitely no agenda hidden in this post.
How?
According to my licensed psychiatrist, trauma is anything hurtful or harmful that impacts your behavior or patterns of thinking. The clinical term is actually more broad than the general public conception of the word.
even in medical terms (not a doctor) getting a tooth pulled or scraping your knee is trauma.
For all people posture that "the internet overreacts" they also overreact to the so-called overreaction
That's physical trauma though.
At least people were saved from terrible tra*ma by cl*verly h*ding the "u" in "ab*sive". Can't tell that's what it says at all...
An alternative explanation is that sites like TikT*k are trying to please advertisers by reducing coverage of videos that talk about sensitive topics like trauma, suicide, and death, and that behaviour has been blindly copied by zoomers who are getting their primary internet exposure from Tiktok.
I see you don't feel the need to double-censor "w"
Oh this word might hurt someone, lets skewer it so not only does it bring all the focus to the word itself, but forces people to think about the word specifically and how big of a deal it should be!
Whoever did this really needs a smack upside the head
Trigger warning: the word tra*ma
I like to think of myself as pretty supportive, but is there really any evidence that specifically reading the word "trauma" is traumatic? And if so, is the removal of the "U" really a solution to that?
Because it seems like asterixing one letter is more of a performative measure to signify ones support for the overall cause rather than an actually means to reduce suffering.
How close can the "U" be before it starts to upset someone?
"Tra u ma"
Uuuuuuuuuuuuu Tra ma Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I don't believe that someone who is affected by the word "trauma" would view the above examples with a complete non-reaction because the U is vaguely obfuscated.
Like, we can agree that the asterix is just a display of consideration to someone, rather than an actually effective measure, right?
It's actually counterproductive! People who want to screen stuff about abuse from their internet experience can set up filters. Those filters are broken when you censor the relevant words!
Yeah but does that matter if using the asterisk helps those not the victim of abuse feel better about their day? They are the real victims 🤣
If the word triggers some symptom, then why would that same word, "hidden" by a trick that wouldn't faze a six-year-old, be any less harmful?

Dear Americans: Psychotic doesn't mean what you think it means. Stop using it please.
Yeah it does, you sound psychotic.
Stop gaslighting me you narcissist, or I'll report you for ab*se!
You just triggered my trauma of when I was gaslighting my grill.
