Where does the “Triggered Comics” meme come from?

The term stems from a broader internet culture emerging around 2014, linked to a photo of Melody Hensley used in 'Triggered' captions after a Daily Mail article about her harassment. On February 25, 2015, a FunnyJunk user published *The Book of Triggering*, laying the groundwork. By 2016, these multi-panel comics spread across FunnyJunk and Facebook. No single creator or founding video is identified; it evolved collectively on various platforms.
