The Marble of Ulrmk is an orb that stands atop the steeple of the Silver Chapel. Though legends regarding it are mostly the same from culture to culture, the mainland races believe it to ensure the protection of the Silver Chapel for as long as it stays there, whereas the ashen dwarfs believe its destruction or removal to be the harbinger of the Silver Chapel's destruction.

I just saw this picture on Tumblr with two separate trigger warnings for water.
I know there's nothing wrong with overtagging but there's something grating about it.
Trigger warnings.
For water.
Yes, I understand that the fear of drowning can make people averse to swimming and large bodies of water, but that is just astoundingly silly. I mean, wow, thank you for being patronising in your attempts to look concerned.

I'd say the same thing but tbh the girl who did it is very sensitive and I can tell she's doing it more out of fear of offending someone than condescension.

Fear of offending everyone can only lead you to offend more people than if you were less preoccupied. She is not going to get chewed out for not putting trigger warnings on everything she posts.

I never really understood the idea that words blended from different roots are "wrong"
Like, there's a full spectrum of different languages to draw from, so why limit yourself to matching parts?

i think it depends, sometimes mixing terms from different languages can result in ungainly constructs that look as though little thought went into them
otoh i think a lot of it is just snobbery, because only somebody educated would know the etymologies of the words in question
Aquaphobia is the correct term. Since hydrophobia is something completely different.
Not as far as I know...?
As I said, it's an ambiguity thing. Aquaphobia came about due to hydrophobia being used for rabies.
Yet in time hydrophobia has fallen out of favour as a term strictly applying to rabies and now more generally refers to that particular symptom of the disease. Having a redundant, somewhat linguistically muddled word is not really necessary.
Then again, does this really have a bearing on whether or not this girl decided to put an unnecessary trigger warning on something? Not really. I shouldn't have brought it up, but for the perceived incorrectness.
Trigger warnings are really dumb. You can't hide from reality.
no you can't
hence asking people to show the consideration of warning you before presenting you with something that will trigger an epileptic seizure or a flashback, both of which are pretty dangerous

sounds kind of silly to me
like somebody smashed the words 'cut' and 'berserk' together
it undermines the entire practice
there's no point in trigger warnings if everything gets tagged, no matter how innocuous
and yet i have never heard you complain about 'television'
well she might
it is the Internet
that's not the derivation, tho (and would make little sense if it was)
when the word was first coined purists kicked up a fuss

you can't hide from peanuts, but you still might have good reasons for not wanting to eat one
but a seizure or panic attack is not exactly a picnic
