HOUDINI Magazine will never use trigger warnings, content warnings or similar. We do spoiler graphic images if needed. I believe that these things work to distance the reader from the horror, and contribute to the passive, almost pornographic consumption of our reality by those able to use their class position to distance themselves from the issues. I want my audience to be offended, upset and angry 1/2

when we cover graphic, raw stories whether that be the Adriana Smith case, or the horrors of Palestine, or anything else. There are an infinite number of other outlets that sanitize and provide that distance. There's only one magazine that refuses to buy into the passive language, that's HOUDINI Magazine. There's no trigger warning on a bomb, and those bombs are made in America.
You can say anything or you can say nothing.
Don’t let the popcorn eaters rest their heads in the sand, shove the reality right into that popcorn.
