OK. I'm gonna go dids on the trigger stuff. Not only is it not funny, but I'd say it's a decent example of rape culture and misogyny and you guys should stop it.

It's basically men telling other men "ha. You're just like a whiny women complaining about being raped. You loser"

/dids

No, I support LGBT kids. My concerns are more in line with those expressed by President Obama about freedom of expression, and why avoiding arguments you disagree with are not a good way to learn anything.

I hope you guys are right and it's just being overblown by all those professors, guys like Chris Rock and Seinfeld who won't do gigs at schools anymore because nobody can take a joke, and Obama, et al.

Why do people still let Anne Coulter on tv?

oh, guy used 'rising odds' not as in 'likelihood of winning are increasing', but instead as 'longer odds'.

Yo rugby just to make it clear I think you're not a woman at all. You are, however, all of those other things and it's hilarious that you jump to women when someone describes your own whiny bull****

This post needs a trigger warning that dids is being invoked.

Still waiting for Ikes/Lou to tell me specifically what policies of Kasichs they like or why they think he would make a good president.

The issue which the Singal NyMag article gets at is that there are things that can trigger PTSD episodes, and those things should be handled carefully.

But the example he gives of like, people being "triggered" by discussion of the military as a concept breaks down. What is being triggered in those people? A dislike of militarism? When a war veteran gets his PTSD triggered by watching Saving Private Ryan the phrase makes sense.


But it just says so ****ing much how BOLD and STRONG our nation's pundit class is when it comes to telling powerless campus activists that they are whiny morons they're in full shirt-rending macho mode, but we're pretty much completely unwilling to call Donald Trump and his voters racist morons.

Also, like I said, literally no demographic in the world is more oversensitive than the internet reactionary/MRA/Gamergate/alt-right/Breitbart types who **** their pants in outrage 24/7 at SJWs doing, uh, pretty much anything.

Same reason TRUMP got so much airtime even when he was considered a no-hoper.

People saying outrageous crap is good for ratings, and gets your show attention from other shows.

So after a dozen or so pages of evasion we've finally got our concrete example of the actual harm done by SJWs and it's... stand-up comics getting their feelings hurt?

Get the digs in now buddy. It won't be long before your only retort will be complaining about us on reddit.

Gotta let her on. 1st Amendment.

CAN YOU STILL GET CANCER IN A SAFE SPACE

Also, I'm not an expert in the industry or anything, but were Seinfeld and Chris Rock really doing a lot of college shows back before whenever safe spaces made people unwilling to take a joke(2014?). Neither of them really struck me as within the Student Affairs Fund budget for Western Arkansas State.

Saw carrot top in 1996 in college. Was funny as hell actually, at least to drunken college me. All prop comedy. Seinfeld and Rock were huge well before then. At this point they have other people cut their food and answer their door. Stewart lee used to do student gigs and tell them they were **** and they threw glasses at him. Thats even worse than the glare of a sorority girl.

This **** is getting too real.

You mean this speech?

Is that really what Obama is saying?

First they came for the past-their-prime stand-up acts, and I said nothing...

I would assume these guys did gigs at large university venues back in the day, there's no real reason they couldn't continue to do so other than they've moved upmarket. I haven't followed this story, but I'm pretty sure it didn't play out with SJWs locking arms and barring Chris Rock from entering campus.

I mean Seinfeld has like half a B. Is he really still doing standup shows at all?

Of course it isn't. Obama makes perfect sense as usual.

Maybe he actually likes doing standup?


Then he'd probably love to do smallish shows at colleges like he probably did coming up, but he's worried that his material will freak out the special snowflakes.

Oh snap, Carlos Mencia is playing the Looney Bin comedy club at Arkanas State this weekend. Who's down for a road trip?!?

I don't think Seinfeld ever said he did college shows. He just said he wouldn't do them because campuses are too politically correct.
