Edit: Also, my understanding of trigger warnings are that they're in place so whomever may be triggered may be able to mentally prepare themselves for the content, not excuse them from an assignment. If they chose to skip a scene or something, that's one thing, but it kind of discredits the emotional state of someone with PTSD if their trauma is deemed just as valid as someone with a fear of bugs.
There's the "etc" I was thinking of!
