    You have the right to be offended. You don't have the right not to be.

    The world is fucking doomed.

    After reading the original article, that is what I'm convinced of.

    Didn't Bechdel's Fun Home just win a Tony Award as well? And this toadstool moron wanted the original source material banned?

    And I'm sick of trigger warnings. I'm with Spike-X, these people are supposed to be grownups. It would be nice to see them acting like it for a change.

    This isn't about trigger warnings. That's a whole different thing.
