I thought logical humans already destroyed this like 20 years ago.

First it was science fiction and cartoons, then horror movies and games. Is there any creative fun that hasn't been accused of spoiling the youth? I learned by now, that the real psychos are the ones blaming us for having fun and loving, instead of fighting their wars.

There are some people who will only be satisfied when all children are working themselves half to death on a farm or as an apprentice in a manner reminiscent of the 1800s in England.

I believe it is noteworthy that everyone in that position is already well past childhood and will not have to endure it themselves.

It would be irresponsible for her to talk about sensitive subjects without giving a warning. Also mental health issues like anxiety can be seriously compounded for social outcasts like the people who come to PAX. She directs them to the AFK room which is a really cool thing to help people who suffer from social anxiety to get away from the craziness of the crowd. While I personally don't have an issue with that sort of thing, I have many friends who can't handle this kind of event for a few hours, let alone 3 days. The AFK room is great for that (it is a "safe space" though)

Every discussion about human behaviour/nature is a sensitive subject these days. Fuck people who need their "safe spaces". These people should be confronted with the truth more often instead of being directed to bury their heads in a sandbox.

So? She just gave a quick heads up in case anybody might be offended. It was about thirty seconds and I'm pretty sure it didn't ruin the panel.

30 wasted seconds. If it was someone stalling at a green light you would be annoyed.

It didn't. It just bothers me that a psychologist can't see the damage in pandering to the PC crowd - even if only for 30 seconds. Don't validate those toolsheds.
