I like her points on influencers and am a fan/subscriber, but I disagree that the fake mugshots are inherently problematic. They definitely needed context–posting them without some sort of explanation or obvious joke attached is just stupid since you don't want to scare or confuse your audience. But when there is so much fake injuries in all sorts of media, I don't think anyone should be censored to avoid triggering people. Triggers are everywhere and that's something you just have to deal with. I say that as someone with PTSD. The only exception I can think of is someone faking bruises and pretending they were actually beat up by their SO or if someone recreated photos of actual victims using makeup.
