And can be for people in bereavement, and not just about politics.
I was 12 when my grandmother died, in 1980 - two weeks before Christmas.
I'm still not terribly fond of that song about the grandma who got runned over by a reindeer.
But the best part is you don’t have to listen to it if you don’t want to!
Well, if you work in retail, maybe not. They play that shit 24/7.
Of course. I never complained about it. But it's how I learned how to use "selective hearing" for real. It helps with all the other damn carols that get overplayed that time of the year, too. ;) This is actually the first time I ever admitted publicly I don't like that song very much, and why.
I doubt anyone is. It's just not a very good song.
Nothing wrong with admitting it's triggering even if you can brush it off. That's all the definition of the word used to mean until SJWs appropriated it.
By that logic surely getting the email to opt out is jest as triggering
