Amazing.
Person A: "Certain conversations are sometimes hard for me to deal with, and trigger warnings are good and helpful for me."
Person B: "I agree, and I think that you're even kind of a jerk if you don't provide such warnings."
Delusional outrage addicts: "YOU GUYS WANT TO BAN WORDS"
- copsarebastards 11y agoUh, have you even been on Reddit? There are definitely people who want to ban words. But even without going that extreme, Person B in your example is way off-base. There's nothing wrong with Person A, they're just experiencing an unfortunate mental illness. But Person B is creating this moral obligation for everyone to participate in the treatment of Person A's mental illness, and that's an obligation which simply does not exist. It sucks that Person A is sick, and I'd even be happy to devote more of my tax dollars to help them, but I don't think that we should be curtailing our free speech to help treat the vast array of possible mental illnesses we might encounter on the internet.
