What is next? Mirrors? What about removing the actual weights from weight machines?https://heatst.com/culture-wars/carl...it-triggering/
Canada’s Carleton University removed the weight scale from its campus gym after several students complained about being “triggered” by it. A sign has been put up in place of the scale, explaining that the decision to remove it is “in keeping with current fitness and social trends.”
Several students were completely onboard with the decision. Per the Charlatan, one student named Samar El-Faki said it was a good call that accommodated people with eating disorders.
“Scales are very triggering,” she said. “I think people are being insensitive because they simply don’t understand. They think eating disorders are a choice when they are actually a serious illness.”
But she was in the minority, as many other students criticized the college for pandering to special snowflakes. “Next it will be the mirrors,” wrote another student on Facebook

How is a basic object of simple form triggering ? Don't step on it if you can't face your own weight ?
"Mirrors make me look fat" will be the next step ?When googling 4 letters is asking too much fact-checking.

I generally consider universities in a world separate from our own. Very little of what occurs there will apply to the real world and it has always been that way.
