ATTENTION: if you see a post like this, IT IS A SCREAMER. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
The screamer includes a black and white flashy gif maximized to fit your browser and a very loud piercing screech noise. If in any way this can trigger you, please be aware and reblog to signal boost.

Oh my god why does Tumblr treat every screamer as a fucking national crisis. That one shown is actually tagged with trigger warnings for epileptics calm down. Lighten up it’s just a prank you’ll probably forget about it after like half an hour. I haven’t ever heard of a case where someone with PTSD or some related trauma-issue could be triggered and have an episode over something like this, it has to be something that reminds them of the specific trauma and I don’t think anyone has faced serious trauma in the form of a scary face popping out at them.

really because i was actually particularly upset about a completely different event and had just gotten over crying when said screamer had popped up on my dash. i had my headphones in, my lights off, and it was 6:30am. that thing scared the shit out of me and i was shaking for about an hour afterwards and maybe you should be considerate and just reblog it incase one of your followers happens to be going through a similar event. the noise itself could probably actually trigger some sort of medical mishap so how about instead of calling everyone on tumblr a bunch of pussies you shut your fucking mouth and be thankful that someone takes time out of their day to make a post to aware people of something that could possibly harm them. 

Calling something a prank doesn’t make it ok to hurt people. Or even to be obnoxious.
Pranks are supposed to be enjoyable to everyone involved. If they’re not, you’re doing it wrong.

Also it isn’t necessarily the topic-related FLASHBACK that is triggered by things like that.  It’s the exaggerated STARTLE RESPONSE. Which then flips on this flood of adrenaline that can take ages to come down from.  Not everything about PTSD is triggers and flashbacks. Although those can play in as well once the startle response is set off.
