I think there's a lot to be critical of with callout culture, where people intentionally misinterpret things in the worst faith possible to turn an opinion they disagree with into a moral failing. There's a lot to be critical of in terms of academic censorship of materials, speakers, etc, that some might find offensive as college is kind of supposed to be a place where you're pushed outside your comfort zone and have to confront,views or ideas that don't mesh with your worldview.

However, the people championing poo poo like this mostly just wanna say dumb things and not take responsibility for it, so i end up walking away with a worse view of everyone involved.

My reaction was mostly bemusement that given what I expected out of this hashtag, the majority of the tweets singled out by the bloggers who were so upset by this were incredibly tame, like the Lena Dunham one. All of those tweets were featured in the stories I listed.

Feels like the world is getting worse, with several world issues getting ready to boil over.

My favorite Tom Clancy scenario is a Trump win followed by increased land reclamation by China in the South China Sea. The new Prez can't let that stand, seeing how he promised to be tough on them, so he keeps sending B-52's and Navy ships to test the UN International water treaty. The Chinese Navy hates this and one day they fire. Things escalate quickly with a Bonus option of a blessed nuclear fire cleansing the Earth.

Please vote Trump because this is way more interesting than Twitter/SJW/Gender wars !!

nothing in this world is "supposed to be" one thing or another, things come into being for one reason and then stay in being for other reasons, get co-opted, change.

college is now "supposed to be" a place where you pay a lot of loving money to participate in a certain stratum of society.
