Generation trauma: The rise of ''trigger warnings', 'microaggressions' & 'safe spaces'

The generation trauma fad is pro-censorship which impedes our work

Already Saudi-Arabia has used it to infiltrate proposed UN regulation of speech to ban 'blasphemy'


Note in particular the red curve, which is "trigger warnings" (blue is microaggressions, yellow is safe spaces)

"When you embrace the concept of threatening or unsafe opinions you are more likely to support censorship of them."

"Then you get censorship of everything. It is the angle the censors have discovered that will be supported by people."

"Safe spaces, "harmful opinions", block/blacklists, and no-platforming at expos and universities normalise censorship."

Just don't talk about Julian Assange's sexual assault charges or he'll sue you for making him feel bad.

That's his right though. Has he been found guilty by a court of law?

I honestly have not heard anyone use "trigger warnings" outside of someone making fun of it on TV.

It's also the title of a collection of stories by Neil Gaiman.

As older communication mediums decrease in influence and the Internet grows in influence, I think it's inevitable that Internet language will become mainstream in 'RL'.

Last I heard he's still hiding out in the Ecuadorian embassy avoiding his accusers.

Well, there is also the fact that the most powerful government in the world would like to either kill him or lock him up in some black site hellhole for the rest of his life.

Maybe it is because I do not use facebook. My idea of social media is to disseminate information. I use Twitter almost exclusively to share/find interesting articles/news/research papers, etc... that are posted by schools/organizations.

Theres a massive difference between social medias and news medias. If you get your news/articles/knowledge from social media, then you are basically brainwashing yourself.
Even when a message gets transmitted directly from it's source to the intended receiver, the message will get corrupted by the receivers understanding of it. So taking news directly from social media is basically taking a broken shadow of the original news, and then corrupting them further.

[Aeula]

Gotta agree there. People's minds are becoming mush they're 'protecting' them that much.

'Nasty' things exist. Get over it. It's part of the beauty of human nature. Don't like it? Lock yourself in a basement and live off of basement mold instead of demanding everyone else change to suit your needs.

The feed doesn't mention the term "SJW", as indeed most people who are older than 14 do not.

There will be better terms for getting the point across, such as "Regressives". That acronym isn't very convenient anyways.

Trigger warnings are just a new term for "this may contain graphic or troubling content, viewer discretion is advised", which has been around for as long as I can remember in media.

Also, I thought wikileaks was about fighting corruption in governments. This is a little out of place in my eyes.

I get more annoyed with people who make mountains out of molehills than the people building the molehills.

I hear a lot more bitching from people outraged about "trigger warnings," "SJWs," etc. than I do from the people who want "trigger warnings" or who are the SJWs.

This forum is becoming just as annoying as tumblr "SJWs" at times. Like, there is so much bitching about the evil "SJW" that I just can't even.

As long as you are pro-conversation and free speech then it's all good.

Pretty much. Gaming communities seem to bitch loudly and push anti-SJW opinions.

I quite like that one.

Personally, I think it's quite a positive development, in that it's a living, breathing reductio ad absurdum of "progressive" ideology.

Honestly, I think it is really Authoritarianism vs Libertarianism.

There are people on both the left and the right that are Authoritarian. And I think, especially in (my) the Millennial Generation, this is becoming more clear. I have talked to Young Republicans that pretty much shared a lot of my beliefs, even though I consider myself a "Democrat". And I think the biggest difference is that they tend to not be Authoritarian.

Yes, anti-"authoritarian" until it comes to things like having others pay for their college education, at which point they're happy to point the sword of the state at whomever they want to pilfer.

Can you blame them? Gamers have been a big target of SJW's.

Who would've thought gamers have such strong spines.
