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.
