The "Triggered" meme typically depicts an exaggerated, intense reaction to a minor annoyance or comment, symbolized by the word "Triggered" overlayed in red, accompanied by a distorted, zoomed-in image or GIF. It often satirizes how people overreact to trivial matters, highlighting the humor in disproportionate responses. Originating from the concept of "trigger warnings" meant to alert individuals about potentially distressing content, the meme playfully critiques the sensitivity surrounding various issues. Popularized on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit, it quickly spread across social media, becoming a staple in internet culture for expressing mock outrage and exaggerated sensitivity.
