I don't think a rational line can be drawn, as is. While understandable in a way, the idea of hiding "objectionable" but not illegal material will convert the entirety of Reddit into a "safe space".
Anything will be offensive to SOMEone. Slapping the trigger warning onto subreddits/posts will have already guaranteed that someone, somewhere will feel offended by an opposing world view on practically any topic, and try to silence opposing views under the guise of feeling threatened/bullied into silence themselves, because of their beliefs being questioned.
And who will make this determination against each post? If it is left to moderators, then any given user would potentially risk a site-wide ban because of the ideaology of one subreddit's moderator?
