One wonders if there's a link between the rise of stories such as this and the rise of stories such as the SAE racist chants...
More college type reporting in general, or you think the two issues are linked? I don't really know what to think of these kinds of stories. I've been out of college long enough to not really know what goes on at college these days. Kids definitely seem whinier and less self sufficient to me these days, but we all look back and think that we were tougher when.
I think the issues are linked. I think that in an environment of oppression you get more acting out. I think that tweakball psychopath "PUA" fuckhead in Santa Barbara doesn't happen nearly as often in an environment where people can discuss sexuality, violence and gender relations without having to worry about "trigger language" and thoughtcrime.
I am pretty fresh out of college and I do not remember such articles or talks. Everyone is allowed to say what he/she wants. If you like it, good. If not, don't listen/leave. Of course, there are some rules. Hate speech and racist hitler calls are not welcome at uni. But anything else, is.
