Try to post things that create discussion. We want people to feel engaged and feel their voices are heard, rather than to be a place of disposable content.

....really? she starts the conversation with trigger warnings?
[–] leaffur 2 points -1 points 1 point (+1|-2) ago
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.

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.

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