The Triggering is a twitter hashtag event started by political commentator Lauren Southern, the gist of it is to challenge political correctness by posting provocative messages that are deemed as triggers by the Feminist and Social Justice Crowd
Here's a Video by AlphaOmegaSin that goes more in depth on the matter:
Not sure if this is really thread worthy but the whole concept of it is pretty funny.
As Alan Pointed out, there is already articles on websites like "The Mary Sue" crying about the matter.

#TheTriggering is a hashtag-based activist campaign launched by Canadian conservative political commentator Lauren Southern to challenge the contemporary values of political correctness and the radical faction within the social justice movementby sharing provocative message that would be deemed as triggers for theaforementioned group in defense of free speech on March 9th and 10th, 2016.

Also, The Mary Sue made an article about it. Expect some huge butthurt going on:

Determined to maintain social media’s status as a greasy dumpster fire, some internet jerks are coining March 9th and 10th #TheTriggering. It’s basically an attempt to defend freedom of speech, which is “under attack by cultural Marxists who seek to subvert us.” The “us” there refers to the fine folk at the “anti-SJW” website AgeOfShitlords.
How are they going to defend freedom of speech? Glad you asked! The idea is that they’ll go onto social media and post offensive things in order to defend their right to post offensive things. So, basically, it’s the internet on a normal freaking day.

#TheTriggering is the brainchild of anti-feminist/journalist Lauren Southern, who gained notoriety by showing up to a slutwalk in Vancouver and proudly held up a sign that read “There is no rape culture in the West.”
As you can imagine, terrible internet people everywhere have been rubbing their hands together in anticipation of today and tomorrow, when they finally have an excuse to post horrifically offensive things. I have no idea how that differs from any other day for them, but there you go.
This all being said: take care on the internet today, folks. Moreso than normal, I guess.

Anyway, I don't know where should I move the thread. I think Lolcow General is the best one considering that:
  • Community Watch doesn't work unless #TheTriggering hashtag is lolcow-ish in itself
  • Tumblr doesn't work because it isn't limited to just Tumblr
Thoughts?

Just found out this... the day after it is done. Whoops.

Thing I don't understand is that almost everyone agrees that Twitter is essentially a fish swimming on one side. It'll be a miracle if it lasts through the year without being bought out so why the hell are these people so hellbent on making sure they're the biggest fly on the shit pile?

There's caps out there of people using the hashtag then getting triggered themselves. It's hilarious.
