Cerberus Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Cambridge University is putting trigger warnings on its Shakespeare course documents to warn students that it may make them feel uncomfortable. What sort of adult is triggered by a 400 year old book? Have you ever been triggered by something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who have bought into victimhood as a central mode of living, useful for gaining modicums power over others, and power over acceptable opinions, language, etc. So 'Progressives', intersectional feminists, identity ideologues, etc. catching up with the same behaviour of religious fundamentalist types. This infantilising bullshit is unfortunately gradually spreading from North American academia/campuses (where it is rampant) to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Well, those punters in the cabin in The Evil Dead for starters. In the recent remake the cabin crew find a flesh bound evil book wrapped in barbed wire' with 'LEAVE THIS BOOK ALONE' and 'DONT READ ALOUD' written all over it. Then they read it aloud. I am triggered by their stupidity. Although it is a great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had the chance to see it yet. Does it tie into the remake, as promised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
