Current Events > Safe spaces are ruining everything.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's not just GameFAQ's, but society as a whole which has collapsed under pressure. You can't even debate anything, anymore. You have to watch what you say very carefully because some snowflake - who is used to their College sheltering them with "safe spaces" cannot handle real life anymore. They fly off the handle like a child throwing a temper tantrum if they don't like what they're hearing. Obviously their parents catered to them when they threw these temper tantrums as a child, and the school system did the same thing. Then you get to College, and they supply you with safe spaces. People don't grow up anymore! They're stuck as a child! It's all about emotions now. It's all about flying off the handle when your emotions get the best of you.

We're losing our right of free speech in America (and no, it's not because the media is being thrown under the bus). The extreme leftists want to take free speech away along with the second amendment as well. You can still say what you want, but if the extreme leftists don't like it, they'll go after your job. They'll go after your advertisers. They'll go after EVERYTHING until you become a homeless bum on the streets with no other option except pan-handling. All because they were triggered by something their mind couldn't comprehend. All because they have no tolerance of hearing the other side of an argument or debate. All because people are different. Then they turn around, and tell YOU that you're the ignorant ones.

Lol shush

It's either get on board with their way of thinking, or they'll run you over.

That's the mentality of the extreme left.

I do hate that we can't even have debates anymore. GameFAQs have gotten way too strict with their "offensive" moderations.

What do you expect when the site has such a strong liberal bias? Conservative posters can't sneeze without getting suspended on this site.

It's true tho, it's gotten ridiculous with the ultra-sensitivity.

Boo hoo people cant be racist without getting into trouble, why cant I "debate" why Muslims are a savage people whose religion and culture are too primitive for them to be a part of our country, or why transsexuals have a mental disorder, or any of the other shitty prejudices I hold onto

Nah. It's the same as it's always been. Some mods will mod harshly and some are more lenient. It'll always be like that.

I've never seen a safe space in college. I've never seen a safe space in medical school. I've never seen a safe space in the workforce.

It's also ironic you claim they're ruining society, but it sounds like you want a safe space to discuss ideas that receive a lot of backlash.

The political posters on this board have some of the least insight to how they sound. I won't pick on the conservatives only, because some of the far left posters are guilty of it too.

But damn, y'all need a different hobby.

You know, a similar thing happened to me. It's not just GameFAQ's, but society as a whole which has collapsed under pressure. You can't even debate anything, anymore.

Honestly it's always been strict. It used to be a lot more strict back in the early 2000s.

I don't get when people here say the site has gotten more uptight about offensive moderations. Like if anything the rules are more relaxed than they were 5, 10, or 15 years ago.

And I think you guys don't get what a safe space is. Alcohlics Anonymous is a safe space. Abuse shelters are a safe space. It's nothing new, it's not a term for a place for whiny liberals to go and cry, I don't think that actually exists.

Sounds like something a millennial would say.

Even the liberals on this board would agree nothing in that message was whining. I specified "Extreme leftists". You know, the extreme people. Just like if someone said "the extreme right" are nutty gun lovers that take things too far!" I wouldn't really disagree. That would be an accurate statement.

I didn't say "the left" No. I said "EXTREME LEFT"

What a joke this place is becoming.

What's an example of such a safe space? Right now, I'm getting the impression that TC can't read a room and says something controversial and gets read the house down.

And here, you're no less willing to critically engage than the supposed safe-space-enshrined liberals you're loudly decrying.

The Nintendo fanboyism here is so blatant, even the mods don't hide it

I wouldn't expect a Nintendo fanboy to understand how emulation isn't the same thing as piracy anyway (since their own policy on their site is a bunch of bullshit that goes directly against the law), but I have to say of all the fanboys, Nintendo's faithful remain the most delusional, insufferable, pathetic, and inherently stupid. It's amazing how these sheep will do humiliating things out of their love for a box of plastic and a crappy, out-of-touch, unwise Japanese company that constantly shoots itself in the foot and still lacks the self awareness to realise what they're doing is wrong and stop before the run their has-been company to the ground for good.

I mean, Christ. I'm not the kind of person to make generalisations, but I'll make an exception for Nintendo fans.

Some people on here are having full blown meltdowns right now lmao

Damn I really struck a nerve somewhere.

Here's another common problem in today's communication landscape.

-Anything people don't agree with is whining.

-Also being mad is a thing to be ashamed of.

Neither of those things facilitate constructive discussion.

You may have just been joking but I took it as an opportunity to use as an example.

Are safe spaces physical places or is it just the idea that "I can't say X because I'll be ganged up on"?

God forbid we try to avoid offending people.

Calm down Keyboard Warrior, I was making a joke.
Now it sounds like you really do need a few minutes in a safe room.

You’re offended. You’ve taken offense.

You announce that on a website or comment thread (or to a live human being) as if it means something, as if it’s some grand proclamation with relevance and importance, but all you’re really saying is this:

“I don’t know you and you don’t know me, and we’ve had two totally different lives, but your existence is not validating mine, and that makes me sad, and therefore you should stop doing what you’re doing.”

Do you see how insane that is?

“I’ve had a unique experience of life and my feelings reflect that experience but you don’t, and so YOU’RE WRONG! Stop it! I’m hurt! Wahhhh!”

The problem is not that you’re “offended.” The problem is that you think the rest of the world should care, do something about it, change its behavior to accommodate your inner self.

I hate to break it to you, but your feelings are your own. They’re not mine. They’re not his or hers or theirs or the douchebag writing that article. They are YOURS. Own it, dude.

Deal with it.

I would like TC to clarify this too because all evidence here suggests the latter, but so long as they're here we shouldn't really need to speculate.

I just like to believe in common courtesy. You know, the stuff people have been taught since grade school? :u No reason to force people to listen to your crazy rants if they don't want to.

Indeed. :)

I told myself last night I'm gonna try and not be such a dick anymore. I still have my beliefs, but it's obvious I have gone too far at times.
