I wouldn't equate hyperbole to efficiency, nor would I say it's a form of brevity."Slut shaming is offensive/annoying/irritating/objectionable/odious/etc." works better, because it conveys a more accurate idea. Equating an annoyance with a psychological trigger is just dumb.
A trigger isn't psychological.

Pretty much came to say what Turkey already said. The word makes sense when in relation to something like PTSD or epilepsy, not as much so for a political-related remark that pisses you off.
Equating your personal distaste for something to an actual event that can cause a psychological break in an unwell person is severely disrespectful.

Words change, and every single person on the planet (unless you're some alien who is always happy) has triggers.

"Triggered" is a perfectly acceptable word
