The only thing I agree here is that better language wouldn't hurt. I don't think most people get "triggered". That's a vocal minority perpetuating a culture demanding a sort of conformity against their definition of "micro-aggressions" and "triggers" with no regards to a larger consultation with the society.

I didn't use the words "triggered" or "micro-aggressions", so what exactly are you quoting?

Saying "your project sucks" or "your project docs suck" is not a _micro_-aggression, it's a macro-aggression, or as I prefer, being a jerk. I think most people would react negatively to that sort of statement.
