Trigger Warning 

A trigger warning is a phrase included before a story, video, picture, etc. It's used to warn people of triggering words or pictures. For example, if someone has PTSD or MDD, this could be posted if it uses suicidal thoughts, or a traumatic experience. Some people say this is for oversensitive people, but is actually very useful if the story/picture/video has actual triggering words/scenes/thoughts. Can also be abbreviated to TW.

trigger warning 

A trigger warning is when something may make you feel emotional, like mad and upset
So at the start of a text, video, etc it my say 'trigger warning', it alerts the viewer that the content may make them feel ashamed, have a break down, etc.
the moral is that if you see trigger warning, just be prepared that your emotions may escape your mind :)

If a video says trigger warning it may show suicide content, death content, racism, rape, etc

trigger guard

"One of the odd things about the Army is how little actual trigger time you get. You carry your weapon around a lot, but aside from periodic qualifications or occasions where it gets entirely too exciting you don’t shoot very much."
