as someone who was cursed out and basically surrounded by kid unfriendly stuff including experiencing abuse you would definitely recognize as commonly triggering and "that bad," yes, it's a real trigger.

some triggers sound stupid. people can't help what triggers them. I used to censor curse words when I could edit stuff on other sites, but I don't control other people or tell them what to do. I have my own beliefs and have my own aversions, but I just have to protect my own self. it does sound like a bit much to go to the mods, but we don't know what this person went through.
