    Here's some of the (quite robust) literature on Hardiness and PTSD http://www.dtic.mil/get-tr-doc/pdf?AD=ADA614766 Who thrives under stress? The evidence very clearly says: individuals who rate high in Hardiness. Who is least likely to heal from PTSD? Individuals who rate low in Hardiness.

    Just look at the psychological literature on "hardiness" and "resilience" and "catastrophising" and it's clear why this is the wrong road to go down.

    What happens when Krang needs to take a shit?

    "In a manner that doesn't hurt people" This is the problem: people are hurt by everything. Showing a video where someone says "I wouldn't personally wanna watch men have sex" will get you called before a disciplinary board. It doesn't matter how reasonable the "hurt" person is, they are always right. And if the entire generation is being taught that their over-sensitivity is valid, then that is a recipe for fucking disaster. This "held accountable" rhetoric is some communist-censorship shit. "this is not up for debate...try to do so and I'll report you" Imagine being a professor and trying to teach knowing that a few students have their fingers poised over the "report to authorities" button if they feel less than 100% validated This is madness, it's literal fascism

    Well lemme start by saying that I generally agree with SJ end-goalsI simply think that things like safe spaces and content warnings don't actually serve those end-goals My criticism is kinda that simple I think Haidt's point about Pavlovian exposure therapy is correct, and that over-protecting students from certain information will do more harm than good I mean, so what happens to these kids when they're no longer in University? How can you be an effective doctor/lawyer/English teacher/social worker etc if you're triggered by mention of certain topics? My girlfriend is a sexual assault survivor and she had sever PTSD for a few months But she didn't shy away from anything (e.g. she resolved to walk the route where she was attacked everyday, she read up about others' experiences, etc) and she healed pretty quickly IMO I've known a few people permanently scarred by trauma, and shielding their wounds seemed to prevent them from healing I dunno, I could be wrong

    You make it sound like I'm the only one who disagrees with you But yeah, I'm interested to hear you defend her case

    On a dare, I had cornrows for approximately 36 hours (If it matters, a black girl did my hair) It looked especially grotesque with my weirdo mosquito face

    Here's an interview with the 'white dude with dreads' The interviewer [towards the end of the vid] is like "yeah yeah you were assaulted or whatever...but still white people shouldn't wear dreads because privilege and cultural appropriation..." This shit is mind-numbing https://youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&v=E4hEL3AoKCM&annotation_id=annotation_2532161161&src_vid=JQSJnE1dmG4

    The fringe isn't fringe-y if it runs the show. The whole point of your saying this was "fringe" in the first place was to convey that it's no big deal. Fringe or no, the effect is the same.

    We're talking about the education of an entire generation It's not just a few random tumblr pages We're talking about the education people are currently getting at Duke, Harvard, Oberlin, NYU etc

    The 'SJW influence on campus' concern is definitely not overblown "Safe spaces" and "content warnings" are virtually everywhere Controversial guest lectures are routinely canceled because of protester fuss (And when that Milo idiot recently gave a lecture--forget where--some overly-sensitive people sought out counseling due to being traumatized) Due to concerns of being "held accountable", professors all over are removing controversial content from their classes This is not a fringe thing (It was a few years ago, but now it's everywhere) http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/opinion/sunday/judith-shulevitz-hiding-from-scary-ideas.html?_r=0

    Sometimes I'm like "I wish I was less self-conscious, less inhibited" Then I see a person like that and I'm like "nah, I'm good"

    Usagi, the fact that joking about swatting me and having me end up in the "cops murder unarmed civilians" thread For mere words on a forum The fact that you would go there I can't think of any other WATMMer who would do that shit Maybe Chunky or ET I'm a mentally ill drug addict and I wouldn't say that shit to my worst enemy I was totally happy to ignore you and let you do your thing But you wanna jab at me everywhere I go And tell other members they have their head on wrong I'm happy to play along, mate

    Me, gone off the deep end? I'm very tempted to quote some of your old posts... Your coy defenses of theocracy and blasphemy laws are some shameful shit It's sad that you don't see how deeply you were brainwashed And just how squarely you stand in opposition to the most basic fucking Enlightenment/classical liberalism values But please, do wax on about how wrong-headed others are It's fucking classic

    Apparently this campus SJW stuff has exploded in the last 2-3 years It's actually very interesting from a sociological and psychological perspective Anyway, this dude knows what's up: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4TkZdPrdv4k
