I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
One of the most "PC" people I know who makes safe spaces is a chronic manipulator who subconsciously plants womb resonance triggers in every club he creates. I call him the umbilical imbecile. Ya, safe spaces aren't safe spoilers.

Are you surprised people are reacting this way ? There were serious articles about cafeterias banning fried rice and poo poo like that.

I guess you're either a nazi or a pissbaby no middle-ground anymore.

lol yeah, the correct reaction to extremists on one end is to just get equally extreme but on the other!

some people are mentally ill and doing X in the name of political correctness, therefore the only rational reasonable solution is to replace words I read with the N word. In this way, balance in the universe is maintained :downs:

lmao

quote:

Similarly, many universities are creating “safe spaces” where students can relax free from ideas that might be stressful or anxiety-inducing. Among these is Brown University, which last year created a room “with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies” because a debate on sexual assault was taking place on campus.

college kids need bubbles, binkys and nappy naps

what if puppies are my trigger? :ohdear:

can i get a safe space with kitties instead?

Most of those posts make cogent arguments, OP. What do you disagree with

People who grow up and suffer from real/serious past traumas are probably less then 1% of the people freaking out online about safe spaces and demanding the removal of things they find offensive or triggering. Look at what happened at Yale when that one professor sent out an email stating "banning people from wearing racist costumes does nothing, if you see someone doing it make them aware of how it makes you feel blah blah blah" basically a little tone deaf but wholly emphasizing that people need to be engaging with things they disagree with don't understand rather then have institutions simply shield them from them entirely.

This is one of the greatest institutions of learning in the world, and hear is someone who's dedicate his life to education and students being screamed at for trying to discuss the matter with people in a calm way. The professor who sent the email end up resigning. The same thing with the racism at the other college campuses, there was a "safe space" that sprung up in the middle of the quad and had protestors getting borderline-physically violent with cameras and reporters

This is not healthy and not helpful in any way. All it does is reinforce the idea in these people's heads that they can just refuse and walk away from a problem rather then dealing with it head on and grow from the experience. Maybe UoC will face a backlash for it, maybe they won't. Either way the rise of tumblr-sjw-internet trolls hyping up these incidents and causing real world harm to people who were just trying to help isn't going away any time soon.
