I've had enough.
This business of people being triggered or feeling "othered" can go and kiss my arse - the entire generation from about 1980 on needs to seriously and severely harden up.
Instead of being outraged, take it on the chin. When you lose, don't blubber like a bloody baby.
I think of it this way: when a teenage chick was really, really upset in the 1950s, '60s and '70d, she would at some stage burst into tears and her parents & friends would know something was wrong.
Now, when these same sheilas see a team of grown men blubbering over losing some game involving a ball, tears have lost their value and they cut themselves.
Self-harm in that group is up by 42% on a decade ago, according to The Guardian today: http://ift.tt/2ew5UIz
A "haunted house" experience at Armageddon today had a sign notifying a safe word so that if anyone got scared, they could say the safe word and be escorted out.
What?
This is paid entertainment. You cannot be in actual danger. What the hell is there to need a safe word for?
My 17 yo is currently undergoing her final school exams. We received a mass email from the school counsellor, reminding children that she was there if they felt too stressed or had anxiety about the exams.
What?
We have stopped allowing kids to learn the lesson that failure is good. It gives the person a chance to learn from it. At schools in NZ, the system is so consumed with children not failing that they can gain seven times more senior credits for cooking than mathematics.
We turn out great baristas. Not so much mathematicians.
Stop this nonsense! Harden up, or face the consequences of not being able to handle the easiest life any group of humans has ever had.
