I don't think jokes about triggering PTSD on purpose are funny. I think those are the kinds of jokes reactionaries make when they find the existence of disabled people offensive.
Didn't they themselves state that they have PTSD? How would they be a reactionary to the existence of people with PTSD?
It's called lateral violence, and it's unfortunately very common. They don't believe I have PTSD because they don't want to believe I have PTSD. If I were genuinely triggered by something they did on purpose, they'd be a total asshole. They don't want to think of themself as a total asshole, so they invented a justification to accuse me of faking trauma. It's such a common thing for abusive people to do that it's what the meme at the top of this thread is about.
