Sir or madam, do not project on to me.
I am not triggered by the picture. I do see what it depicts and do not deny it. It is a depiction of sexualized violence against a female form. I will tell you what triggers me: all the people on this thread who cannot admit this obvious fact, or who try to obscure it in blah-blah about what's in the movie. Because stupidity always triggers me. Fancy that.
As for the concept of billboards, I never liked them, especially not in public social environments. Advertisers shouldn't decide what the design of the public environment is. People in Houston and Porto Allegre agree. I guess you'd be happy if there was a giant billboard on the Taj Mahal, or the Statue of Liberty.
