don't you judge them!

Is there any science fiction, even allegorical, about the internet basically making the mankind crazy?

And it's gotta suck if you're struggling with gender identity and you have people that think they're guinea pigs and dopes that want to chop off their legs screaming "Me too!"
Each to their own and all, but this I can't imagine they need the extra baggage.

This article is great, especially the end

Haven't read back over all of this thread because I think it might trigger me but I did read that article that yesterday that Cormoclash just linked to. Then I stumbled across this, which seems to me an actual fair and balanced view (in a teaching context anyway) .....

The Trigger Warning Myth

By the way, the "myth" part here is not that they are not necessary or that we can't hurt people by the things we say. The myth is that this is some new phenomenon. It's part of being a decent human being to be sensitive to other people's experiences and always has been. Also, that the furore over the issue is completely blown out of proportion and being used as a weapon in various ideological battles .....

Yeah, I'd disagree with the whole idea of calling them 'trigger warnings' – it's a bullshit term that someone came up with and has become popularised to the extent that it is now being used as an ideological weapon, like you say.

That's a great piece, by the same person who wrote the piece i posted wayyyyy back on page 5 - Trigger Warning

That trigger warnings are rare, and may be of occasional benefit to professors like me who employ them, is too inconvenient a reality for those who are busy waging war on political correctness.

ahem @Cormcolash

ahem @Cormcolash

And they've been around for decades. And people didn't fucking call them "Trigger warnings" until recently, because people didn't really treat them like some kind of ideological warfare before.

It's like something out of Orwell, a two minute hate against tolerance in the name of tolerance.
