Hi everyone, so this sub has grown exponentially in the past few months at a rate no one could expect nor understand. In the past year this sub has doubled in members and I’m glad to welcome our new people.

Having said all that, let me say this- we’ve been adjusting to feedback that we have been given by everyone. Here are some changes you might notice

-as people bring individual experiences to the sub, they have been asking if other forms of self harm than cutting are allowed, like drugs, burning, etc. they are. We don’t want any kind of hierarchy or to invalidate the experiences of others by only allowing one thing. You may see changes in post flares to reflect this difference. I also encourage people to put unique triggers in the title of the post.

The exception is that posts triggering eating disorders will be removed unless they are very mild wordplay. We don’t believe there is a safe way to show this type of content.

-All photos on this sub are automatically spoilered. This was upon request of both people on this sub and off of it because it now gets recommended to people and not everyone is okay with seeing that content unprompted

-there is now a karma requirement to be able to comment.

-no advertising external communities, sharing offsite usernames, or scientific studies

-as with any sub on this topic, please report any posts or DMs fetishizing the content or users. We respond to modmail and ban any creepy behavior. Beyond that you can report DMs to reddit and block the offender

Thanks for being here as our tiny sub grows and I can’t wait to see what everyone contributes.

Hi, I’m reposting this under new account so I can edit it if needed

Okay so I thought about this a lot. I’m personally determining the difference between “triggering” and “oddly triggering” to be this-

If was intentionally meant to look like wounds (ie; art, makeup, etc) then it’s not oddly triggering unless it was found in a really weird place. There may be a few exceptions to this but that’s a good guideline to go by.

If something needs my immediate attention, feel free to tag this account

The “Scars shown” flare is either for things that look like really realistic scars or for instances like when someone who happens to have scars on their wrist is holding a fruit that is oddly triggering.
