H&L aren't the ones saying harmful things make you stronger, though. They're saying being exposed to ideas and messages which offend you and make you uncomfortable does not harm you. I don't know that I fully agree with them on that, but Wilson's response of "well if being offended doesn't hurt you then they must love the challenge of having their speech repressed, neener neener!" is both inaccurate and childish.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI'm more sympathetic too h&l's General point, but I think both positions are wrong if treated as absolutes. Half of the problem is the ambiguous nature of the term harm itself. It is a undefined suitcase word and I wish we could use something more specific.
