Trigger warning comes from college courses, such as a history course, where the professor is supposed to warn the students ahead of time if there is going to be any incidents of sexual violence in the lesson, say the ****s that occurred during the sack of Constantinople by the Muslim invaders in 1204. Victims of sexual trauma expect to be able to avoid anything that might "trigger" a flashback.
