I like “I feel language”. I think nonviolent communication is good. It’s however a huge misunderstand of violent communication that it’s simply about exchanging a few words without exchanging the meaning. It cheapens the language. It has an aspect of dishonesty. People engaging in that kind of dishonesty is the reason that there are articles written about how nonviolent communication doesn’t work.
The institution of trigger warning exists because some people don’t want to be exposed to certain information that makes them feel bad. Banning users on LW who write posts that make you feel bad is similar.
I think it’s important to give people ways to avoid situations that make them feel bad if that’s their desire.
