Scrooge, I realize. My point is just that we already don't give intent primacy. Why should we suddenly do so on a new policy?

Shambala, sure. My question is more why ageism in particular was the example chosen. Maybe to get a less common one to show even that wasn't chill?

DiSoRiEnTeD1, there's substantial evidence that people with phobias and people who've experienced traumatic events do better if they can get out and experience life and try to readjust. In these scenarios, content/trigger warnings are imperative so they can avoid things that set them off but still work on recovery. These are cases that aren't about "being offended", but are about someone's actual mental wellbeing.
