I am sorry you live in an environment where you can reasonably believe this. Or maybe you’re just myopic about your own hobbies.
In any case, while a shotgun may be an everyday object for 3% of humanity, a penis is a more everyday object than a shotgun for >70% of humanity. Do you support abolishing content warnings for those? If not, can you explain why without also justifying a content warning for weapons pointed at the viewer?
I believe a golf club is an everyday object, yet i am not sure more people have golf clubs than they have shotguns. They could. I do not know.
Regarding penis and warnings about them, I think it’s mostly about “this is a picture you should not open in a work setting”, and not “you could feel triggered by seeing this”. And it gives an excellent thought experiment - if a rape victim is triggered by a picture of a penis, flaccid or erect, should a picture of a flaccid penis have a trigger warning?
I believe it should not. But it could have NSFW marked, as many offices frown upon displaying large images of genitalia in your cubicle.
Meaning I do not believe content warnings as a whole should be abolished, but some trigger warnings should not exist.
