There can be no question but this goes so far over the line as to be...

I mean, LOOK AT THIS.

That's so wrong. On every level. And this is supposed to be funny!? How fucking tasteless can you get?

This makes me want to delete every fucking VG Cats icon I have. I am seriously revolted.

Because I am the resident internet bitch, I have to say that "triggering" is the worst excuse ever for someone to say that X thing is offensive. Everyone has "triggers", but so, so many people pull it out as a trump card and it always makes me want to offend them more when they do it.

I'm not saying I don't have any, I'm just saying that I recognize that they're entirely my problem and no one ought to actually cater to them.

The typical use of "triggering" online sets my teeth on edge, but I was using it here to make a point about the general versus specific offensiveness of VGCats.

Would I have been better spelling out the sociopolitical issues with implying that crib death is an active choice on the part of a caretaker?

No, I'm just saying "triggering" is a stupid word and shouldn't be brought into serious arguments if you don't want to be dismissed out of hand.
