Trigger Warning: Students Want Trigger Warnings About Class Material

[Madrun Badrun]

Yes I'm terribly sorry when I insensitively used the degrading term 'freeminds'.  I meant "FMFMCPCS" i.e freeminds and freeminds in Communist Party of China sense.

[Madrun Badrun]

Opps I meant FMFMCPCSBS, which is the most recent name for the comminuty and stands for 'freeminds and freeminds in Communist Party of China sense and Borg sense' after courageous members of the Borg complained about being compared to communists.

i would prefer if we could refrain from the use of patriarchal punctuation marks which were traditionally used to present ideas in an authoritative absolute  manner  thus shutting out alternative viewpoints

this is not even getting into the problematic terminology of 'period'

[benjipwns]

i feel it would be most inclusive to eliminate the oppressive structures of established and hegemonic language and allow our true inner selfs to spill forth and co-mingle without the artificial boundaries of grammar and spelling

likewise as a vocal advocate of my community I think spaces between words discriminates against c/c++ programmers and propose that all sentences be written in camelCase  || SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

[nudemacusers]

yeah lets use a camel aka a traditional slave animal to be ridden upon

or better yet a snake aka the tempter of womyn and the root cause of the fall of so called utopian society

[benjipwns]

emoticon is not inclusive of those with tremors or people who follow a religion based on the tremors film series

indeeed, nothing on this board is inclusive of the latter, a massive failing of the dominant culture here in my opinion

[Your Stalker]

what is the dominant culture here in your opinion

[Madrun Badrun]

internet culture

[Your Stalker]

please define internet culture

[Madrun Badrun]

I don't believe that a group of people can be defined. 

[nudemacusers]

what is the dominant culture here in your opinion

gay culture

[thisismyusername]

gay culture

I prefer "fabulous culture," sir.

[Human Snorenado]

I had never heard of "helicopter parents" until Gundam mentioned here a few months ago.

I'm pretty sure you have... they're the sort of parents that don't let you have cable even after you move out.

[etiolate]

I remember when this was just called #whitewine.

The massive secret agenda Yum! Brands encodes in the other 15%.

[Shadow Mod]

Don't mind 'em for rape and torture but some stuff is like really?

[chronovore]

Wait, Filipinos are 'Asians'?

The Philippines is the Mexico of Asia.

Pretty soon, they'll have to announce that the ball is about to be pitched at little league games to make double sure the batter is ready for it.

[CatsCatsCats]

I wonder if this is gonna be our generations main "well when I was kid"

[Hock]

I just don't get why people are such assholes about things like this. I get that a lot of people don't get what trigger warnings are for and that some trigger warnings are a bit ridiculous (fanfics can be really egregious about this), but do people have to immediately go "r.i.p true art" or "so what do we need trigger warnings for farts next"? Just, calm down and try to understand why people are asking for this.

[Barry Egan]

I wish Mortimer Adler were still around to react to this. 

Harold Bloom is still around so he might provide some laughs.

[benjipwns]

I'm more amused by it and the whole ouroboros effect. A lot of the social justice and academia "founders" of these things are so adverse to the idea that they won't be in the positions of power that they refuse to even consider the idea it'd ever be used against them.

I mean it will be hard for schadenfreude to top that which resulted from things finally catching up to Hugo Schwyzer and his enablers. It's the tumblr/Jezebel/etc. Sokal only nobody was pretending to be dense.

Trigger Warning: You're all a bunch of pussies that seriously need to sack the fuck up, Jesus.

[brob]

WELL, I don't think there's a problem with this sort of preface as long as it's coming from a teacher or lecture.

Isn't this exactly what it is tho? Anything else seems like a specter conjured from and for think-pieces written by the same sort of authors who put a great deal of effort into establishing the millennials and norm-cores of the world in order to have something to tear down.

[tiesto]

I guess I'm old and out of touch, because I have never heard the term "trigger warning" before.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I appreciate being warned about any tigers that might show up for class.

[benjipwns]

I have a rock you might be interested in purchasing.
