Flight Rising Discussion

[quote name="ufology" date="2021-04-17 09:37:37" ] hey can you not use the word triggered in this context? the word refers to someone who’s experienced trauma and being reminded of it. it's not just being 'annoyed' or 'angry', and using the word in that sense devalues the word for those who actually experience it. /nm [/quote] exactly. the memeing of these terms is inappropriate and disrespectful.

Hey someone who experiences it here!

I have to agree. It's okay if you didn't know the origin of that meme, but the word is overused frankly and has been bastardized, particularly by people who want to invalidate others' trauma when it's used in a joking way. Again, I understand if maybe you didn't know this, just a word of caution for the future!

And I do totally get it. It can be frustrating waiting for nests lol. I don't even breed my dergs much and I get way too excited when nest time comes around

True pain. Or when you forget to hatch a nest the day it’s ready too.

It's worse waiting for the breeding cooldown to end

[quote name="hoy" date="2021-04-17 11:50:37" ] @/arandombunny Hey hun, please don’t use the word “triggering” in that context. It’s a term for people who have trauma and or anxiety + a surplus of other things referring to things like panic attacks, etc. Just so you know for the future! <3 I know what you meant to say and haha I relate!

[i]itching[/i]? lol i don't know how else to describe it, it's just like "hatch now!!! hatch now!!!" |D [s]worse when you realize if you meant to hatch on a certain date, went to grab a boon, and realize you can't boon because it won't let you boon if your nest hatches tomorrow[/s]
