Line 4:
Information regarding triggering or specifically relevant quotes should be placed on the [[Trigger/Useful Notes|Useful Notes]] page, which has a more in-depth description of triggers and the meta concept for those interested. This page is for the discussion of [[In-Universe]] triggering only.
 
'''Do not put trigger warnings on any [[TVAll The Tropes]] pages other than [[Fan Fic Recommendations]].''' Works that have full pages should already indicate the existence of triggering content in the description or trope list in a natural way, and a trope's description should be a good indication of whether or not there will be any significant triggering content in its examples.
 
Compare the [[Ban on Politics]] (an attempt at handling a near-universal [[Berserk Button]]), the [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]], [[Trigger Phrase]], and [[Too Soon]]. Not to be confused with [[Squick]] which may be unsettling, but is not a psychological trigger.

* In the [[Alfred Hitchcock]] movie ''[[Spellbound]]'', an amnesia victim becomes uncomfortable every time he sees a pattern of wavy dark lines against a white background, because it reminds him {{spoiler|of the event which caused his amnesia - he had witnessed a murder at a ski resort, the dark lines were ski tracks in the snow}}.
* The original version of ''[[The Manchurian Candidate]]''. Actually one of the first films to explore [[Trigger|triggering]] in depth, before the term was even generally used to describe it. While there's plenty of [[Critical Research Failure]] and such to go around and using [[Trigger|triggers]] to create an assassin is likely impossible in [[Real Life]] (thankfully), and while it is definitely [[Played for Drama]], the idea of using emotional [[Trigger|triggers]] to manipulate people into doing things they would not otherwise do or act against their own self-interest is actually [[Truth in Television]].
* In ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]'' (2011), they find Animal in a therapy session to control his aggressive impulses. Turns out "drums" is a trigger word for him, to no one's surprise. It's also one for [[Jack Black]].
