Yeah I don't mind ratings at all, and I think I've actually had to argue that here before. Trigger warning comes off to me more of a "danger, you might have a nervous breakdown if you watch this" for the mentally incompetent.

I'm in agreement with you. There should be no trigger warning for adults. If the mere entertaining of ideas has the potential to cripple you mentally and send you into a spiral of despair for which you're bound to need counseling, you can't rightly be called a mentally fit adult.
