There are still triggers, people can be and are triggered.
A psychological issue that affects how a person may process images or sounds that does not cease to be because you are bored of hearing the word given to describe that manifestation.

Your explanation of what and why to avoid films and/ or games if affected by real life issues is a bit simplistic and in a way obvious. It says nothing of the people who feel how they do but have no such experience. Are all those people sickened by film violence unaware of some childhood phobia?

Again ...nobody has mentioned or advocated banning or restricting anything.
The only point I made was how they affected ME. I appreciate they don't affect you and neither of us can say wit 100% accuracy how they affect other people.

And don't tell me you've never looked under the seat of your plane for a snake... cos well, I just won't believe you.

Out of interest, what films from your childhood affected you?
