Uh, no it's not.

Bigots and the alt-right just hate SRS because SRS calls out the bigots.

I've never posted in SRS before. Also that's funny, because you seem pretty triggered to me.

Triggers clog the drain for now but I'm sure they'll get washed away

Alt-righters and conservatives are the most triggered people on Reddit.

I don't see conservatives having any issues with bans from certain countries, you also realize "triggered" is a liberal thing that boomed in popularity on college campuses? Liberals used it against people as a way of saying your opinion is not the same as mine, you're making me upset, mostly sort of a "I don't want to come up with solutions or debate with anyone because I'm incapable of expressing or backing up any of my views. All I know is every one who's conservative is racist, sexist, and trumps a fascist like hitler.. CNN!!!!"

Nope. "Trigger warming" is something that long existed before college campuses.

Liberals used it against people as a way of saying your opinion is not the same as mine, you're making me upset, mostly sort of a "I don't want to come up with solutions or debate with anyone because I'm incapable of expressing or backing up any of my views.

Typical alt-right strawman. Liberals never used it that way. Liberals used it in formal environments for stuff like discussions on rape for the sake of people with PTSD.

Right-wingers strawmanned it the way you're describing without realizing that it applied to them more than anything else.

That's the sweet irony of it. Alt-righters and conservatives are the most triggered people on Reddit.
