If anyone has any doubt about what "triggers" Millennials, oh the things I've seen. "'Teeth' triggers me, please don't describe the teeth on the monster." "I'm triggered by rampant firearms use, please don't have guns in your game." "I get very triggered by eating disorder discussion please don't have fat people as villains in your game" and on and on.
The Social Justice Warriors are invading pen and paper RPGs and shitting the whole hobby up.

As a GM I'd be responding with "Oh, that's unfortunate that you feel that way, we'll just take a five minute pause in the game so you can pack up your stuff and remove yourself to a nice, safe, non-triggering environment. See ya".
Edit: I guess I should make it clear to you all that I deliberately insert confronting scenes and scenarios into the games I run. I want my players to be confronted with themes and scenarios that make them question their decisions and assumptions. If my players aren't mature enough to handle that, I'm not stopping them from finding the door.
