> trigger-warning=just google it. there are people that go in panic when they hear certain stuff (kinda insane really)
There are people who experience panic disorder/ptsd. Being "triggered" into a panic attack can literally require hospitalization. Just because you are fortunate enough to not experience this doesn't mean that all people are.
I'm not disagreeing with you, panic/ptsd triggers are a real and terrible thing, but in this context I think the use of "triggered" is referencing the current-internet-pop-culture-meme usage of the word.
Some examples:
"Have a nice day ma'am"
"Did you just assume my gender?!?"
(paraphrased from Tropic Thunder)
"What is it with you people?"
"What do you mean 'YOU people'?"
