What's going to happen when you get out in the world and there's nobody there to say, oh, we're getting ready to talk about something that might upset you, so you get to go in this other room and sit in the dark for a while?

Yeah.

You can't do that.

And the research says...

that trigger warnings themselves create anxiety.

Not only do they not lower anxiety, they create anxiety themselves.

The vast majority of universities have used trigger warnings.

They use trigger warnings for Romeo and Juliet, said, involves suicide.

Spoiler alert.

Really?

So,

They have access to the same research that I do, which is that trigger warnings don't work, but they do it because they're virtue signaling.

They want to do it because it makes them look sensitive, even though it doesn't work.

If you want to make somebody feel better, you tell them the truth.

You want to make yourself look better, you tell them what they want to hear.

That's crazy that they're doing this.

It's like you're teaching them to go on red and stop on green and then you hand them the keys.

Are you kidding me?

That's exactly what they're doing.

And they know this.
