I don't believe you adressed my point within the context of my point in response to a facetious caricature of trigger warning as an extreme response to the concept of having trigger warnings.
- th667223 11y agoI made edit and added first paragraph, just after this was submitted. I believe my response covers it. It is very expensive or impossible to provide safe space for everyone in its current form. And if we provide safe spaces, we should probably start at prisons, which have much harsher conditions than universities.
- SolaceQuantum 11y agoI agree with that point. I only disagree with caricaturization of a viewpoint you disagree with. I will ask, is there much wrong with a group of people organizing a safe space for themselves? It's impossible to make a public space "safe" but is it possible for individual groups to make spaces for themselves IRL? For example, my research university had an area in which LGBTQ people had meetups for bi people, LGBTQ of color, etc. I found that perfectly possible to exist.
