You have identified the key issue: what does "safety" mean? Can it be misused? Yes. So we know it means _something_. Does it have a meaningful opposite? 'Danger?' Means imminent threat. Does 'safety' mean 'no imminent threat?' What does imminent mean? NOW. So what is a threat when it's not physical? If you offend my feelings, as I have done to so many by merely challenging bad thinking, then does that mean you 'threaten' me? Should I treat that the same as violence? No. Now invert the argument. That is why 'safety' leads to acts of aggression. I spotted that in OP's language patterns and wanted to coax it out, so people could see the totalitarian thinking behind a supposedly mild mannered hacker. This is why trigger warning idiots consider any novelty a fight or flight worthy risk. And the fact that a thread can be labeled 'philosophy' without commanding any actual, technical, philosophic conversation, is demonstrative of what happens when we let sentiment bullies dominate our discourse.
