We are slowly turning into over-sensitive, entitled brats. Recently in Norway there have been a lot of commotion regarding a closed Facebook group called "Mannegruppa Ottar", this group is a sanctuary for dirty jokes. Jokes frowned upon by today's political correct society.
There aren't any laws broken withing the group, but content have been leaked out by bloggers and feminists and they have taken the front as moral knights because this group offends them.
The main thought behind this is: "We dont like this content, as someone can find it offensive. So it shouldn't exist."
We have freedom of speech, that entitles us to say what we wan't as long as it's within the lines of the law.
I have heard many things i don't agree with, things i frown upon. But i still respect it as their opinion.
And they are free to think whatever they want, i can disagree but i don't demand censorship. Everyone got the right to have their opinion, and you should respect that.
Even if that opinion is as far from political correct as it can be.
You may disagree with me and this train of thought, you can show your disagreement in the comment section and i will reply.
This safe space society some groups seem to nurture from is a fucking illusion. There is no such thing as a safe space in today's day and age. And there shouldn't be.
You are not a special fucking snowflake.
You are not entitled to shit.
You are a human being among many other human beings, a corn of sand on the beach.
Shielding yourself from the cold and harsh reality can't be good for you, the world is not a safe place.
We get shit and we need to deal with it, you can't just go hide away in the corner when something bad happens. That solves nothing.
I'll end this short rant with a great quote by Charles Bukowski:
"I'd decided the campus was just a place to hide. There were some campus freaks who stayed on forever. The whole college scene was soft. They never told you what to expect out there in the real world. They just crammed you with theory and never told you how hard the pavements were. A college education could destroy an individual for life. Books could make you soft. When you put them down, and really went out there, then you needed to know what they never told you.”
― Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye
