Gonna be mean/real for a second:

You should probably not be asking anyone to "trigger warn" their body, their face, etc. because there's not a way to do it that doesn't betray your privilege and harm the person you're asking to do so
"Please tag pictures of disabled/fat/pregnant people" nah, I'm just gonna block you for being a bigot. Bye!
If you ask me how I feel about people asking "the inverse" (tagging skinny people, etc.) I'm not going to engage.

Y'all keep forgetting how many disabilities can make a person (me) rail thin
I won't deny that privilege plays a part in some areas of this conversation, but (see above tweet) and also

the harm it does to a person, particularly a teenager, to be told something like "The mere sight of your body is viscerally upsetting to me"

to me, raises some questions
makes me wonder where the line needs to be drawn in terms of risk, benefit, and harm

when is asking for a CW appropriate, and when is it doing equally as much harm as it is good?

(I can't answer these questions alone for you. I am only one person. I'm only asking you to think)
