Enrollment drops at schools known for ‘social justice warfare’ - Sensationalist Headlines

I am sorry but can we please reread the article while keeping in mind that correlation is not the same as causation and basically all the author did is taking a list of Universities where numbers are declining and a list of Unis with "special snowflake SJW" incidents and specifically look at the ones that happen to have both? There is no reasoning, no causation and one of the guys they got for an interview has basically a whole blog dedicated to smearing progressive movements([url]http://legalinsurrection.com/[/url]). What the fuck. Why are people so easyly jumping the "oh it's those SJWs at it again" thing? [editline]18th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=TestECull;52691874]I don't really blame them one iota. I wouldn't want to attend a school where I was liable to be verbally berated solely because I'm cis, white, and male, or because I don't follow PC culture, or because I used the wrong pronoun on some entitled little shit that thinks the world revolves around them and them alone.[/QUOTE] How old are you and have you ever seen a Uni from the inside?

No one cares about you if you put your head down and actually do schoolwork.

man if brown is having such a drop in enrollment then why didn't they accept me. fucking assholes but seriously though, i attend a college that's very liberal and makes a pretty big point of it. there's no witch hunt for anyone who might hold conservative views, if you're not liberal you won't necessarily be bothered by the "le ess jay dubayews" boogeyman, and the idea of there being constant protests and shit is overblown. unless you go around outwardly acting a bigoted asshole to people, you're not going to be attacked for what you believe even if the majority there disagrees with you. maybe other "liberal" colleges are different but really no one gives a shit and you can have the same experience as anyone else there no matter what your views are, unless you're so uptight that the mere presence of "snowflakes" upsets you (which would be pretty ironic).

Can confirm. I work for Mizzou and we've been suffering ever since our SJW issues became national news

[QUOTE=Pascall;52691904]I guarantee you if you're just walking around campus minding your own business, nobody's gonna do that.[/QUOTE] I actually had my RA get everybody on my floor in a group, bring in the RA from the 'black scholar' floor and some other rando, and then carefully have them explain explain to the ENTIRE FLOOR just how fucking wrong one of us was for debating with someone else over whether or not black people can be racist. This was at SJSU, which isn't even known for this shit.

[QUOTE=Sableye;52691676]*gasp* Oberlin College saw a drop in enrollment and it has to be the social justice warriors! Not the bajillion dollar price, the rediculous admissions requirements, or the fact that its out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Ohio, which is not attractive for liberal arts schools.[/QUOTE] Right, and I agree with this, but I'd also not like to invest all this money just to be stuck at a fucking uni that wastes my multi-thousand dollar investment because I can't get to class due to a bunch of feelings hurt nazis and rainbow warriors getting their dicks in a twist about stupid shit and shutting down campus with their violent protest and counter-protests.

This isn't just some "stupid shit" you clown.

[QUOTE=VX-79;52696429]Are you really complaining about being inconvenienced by gay people protesting open displays of nazism? This isn't just some "stupid shit" you clown.[/QUOTE] No I'm saying that a bunch of assholes preventing me from getting an expensive fucking degree is enough of a reason for me to not attend a school. See right here is the largest part of the problem, you're labeling me and cramming me into your us vs them identity politics to try and affirm your beliefs and make me look like a complete asshole. Im a pretty fucking liberal person and my post history would show it, but here you are, acting as if I'm a fucking monster because I don't want to spend around 100k in student debt all so I can either be inconvenienced and set back in my education out of fear for my safety or join a rank of violent protestors. Yeah mate you got me pegged, anything less than absolute extremism for my side makes one a nazi sympathiser. And it is stupid shit. It's been stupid shit since the nazis got their dicks in a knot about stupid shit and it's just escalated since. It's not about equal rights anymore, it's a bunch of asshole extremists hijacking movements and shutting down the rational discourse we fought so hard for in previous years. The shit that actual passed laws for allowing gay marriage is being shat upon by kids who want to burn cars and riot and literal fucking nazis who were just looking for any excuse to get violent since we began fighting for equal rights.

Show me where in my short statement that I said you were on the side of nazis. You're also going to have to show some kind of proof that these hypothetical situations would get in the way of your hypothetical education, there's already been multiple people in this thread who said this was not the case for them. These are only anecdotal of course but it's better than just what you think would happen. Keep referring to this as just "stupid shit" and suggesting that both sides are just doing it for the fun of it all you want, but it doesn't seem like you have any kind of nuanced opinion backing this up. To me you just sound like someone who isn't directly targeted by nazis, and it's way easier for you to deligimize people who actually are threatened by them by suggesting that rioting somehow means that you don't actually care about your cause. Guess the boston tea party was just done for the hell of it too. It really seems that you don't understand the point of riots and counter-protests. It's not to curry the favor of milquetoast centrists that think gay people are equal now because they're allowed to marry or something. They're supposed to send a message that shit like nazism cannot be tolerated and that they're willing to fight it if necessary. There's a right way and a wrong way to do them of course but don't dare suggest they aren't needed anymore.

[QUOTE=JeSuisIkea;52692358]lmao what even is this post. It's the same anti-generational circlejerking I see everywhere from Fox News to my grandmas facebook and people are actually agreeing with it [t]https://i.imgur.com/7seqvzi.jpg[/t] In this photo, evil snowflakes destroy America, date estimated at 2017[/QUOTE] Rereading this tbh its not quite the same thing. Obviously baby boomers + Gen X had it pretty easy job and war wise so they can't do that generational circle jerking crap which I'll totally agree is nonsense, but the generations before that dealt with ww1, the great depression, ww2. Honestly when that generation bitches about something I actually kind of respect their perspective. Old people aren't all just a bunch of whacky deteriorated fools, they've [B]seen some real shit[/B].
