eric3579says...Although this dude (The guy commentating) is a bit of a douche, the whole situation regarding that college campus deal with those admin/teachers was insanely ridiculous. Youth often does stupid shit by definition.
articiansays...If there was anything to this video, it was lost behind the dumbass narrator.
newtboysays...I find it curious that there's nearly twice as many males accosting him as females....are some of them just lookyloos?
How did these people make it into college? They've obviously been incredibly coddled and 'protected' their entire lives, and can't understand why the college isn't being their helicopter parent.
When I went, you had to prove you had not just the academics, but the brain, and the ability to live with competing ideas. In fact, being exposed to competing ideas was a main part of the plan. Apparently now it's just about the money, because these kids couldn't have the grades, and obviously don't have the brain or willingness to learn.
These infants need to go back to preschool and learn that the world doesn't revolve around them.
Oh no! They're going to leave and transfer? 'Please...please do...do it today' is almost certainly what he's thinking.
Mordhaussays...What is funny is that these people wonder why they can't get real jobs after college. When I still worked, if you tried some stuff like this, you would get told to stfu and do your job. If you wanted to whine and quit, they could replace you pretty damn fast.
Of course, they create jobs now so they can get paid to be SJW.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world actually learns shit in school and become productive adults. People wonder why we are falling behind other nations...
enochsays...agreed,to a point.the narrator didnt bother me that much,and i felt the content far more important than some random youtube channel owner.
this new overly sensitive,overly privileged with a healthy dollop of self importance being placed on the individual really needs to be addressed.
this new trend to silence dissenting opinions and demanding respect for our own,tiny and insubstantial habitats.while simultaneously disrespecting those who happen to disagree is hypocrisy on steroids.
to scream at the top of your lungs to the dean of students that his job is NOT to create and intellectual space but rather to create a home,and NOT be aware of the incredible disconnect to reality is quite disturbing.
there is REAL danger in demanding a space where only ideas YOU agree with,opinions YOU agree with are allowed,and all dissention needs to be either protected from or compartmentalized.
the reason why the free market of ideas is so brilliant and VITAL,is because this is the place where bad ideas come to die.bad ideas are challenged,scrutinized and criticized.when you remove this free flow of thought,then bad ideas can find homes in these small "safe spaces" and are allowed to breed and fester.
the new form of social censorship must be completely,and utterly destroyed.
lets get some fingers snapping shall we?

enochsays...wait...you can be PAID for being an SJW?
ok folks,disregard my last comment.
i am going to get a job as a SJW,where i can get paid to be a self-righteous,self-important asshole!!

newtboysays...HOLY CRAP!!! ME TOO! What's the pay scale? Can I harass from home?
I really need to look into this new field of SJW jobs.

Babymechsays...This article gives some good background - it's a little lenient on the students in the video, but it gives a buttload of context: http://www.vox.com/2015/11/7/9689330/yale-halloween-email

bobknight33says...Who would hire this youth knowing that they will pull this stuff on you work against you the boss or owner?
ChaosEnginesays...Jesus @enoch, I get that you're annoyed by feminists at the moment, but fuck me, surely you can find some videos that aren't narrated by complete oxygen thieves?
Look, here's the actual video of the protest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IEFD_JVYd0
No commentary is needed.
poolcleanersays...As bad as this commentator is, it's one of the better videos. I don't mind a misguided and slightly irrational voice if I can understand his psychology and reinterpret what he's saying according to my understanding.
00Scud00jokingly says...So, clapping is wrong and offensive? Er... What do you do if one of your group members turns out to have had a traumatic experience while attending a Jazz concert? What then? I only ask because in theory we could go on and on like this until Jesus comes back. Oh sorry, do religious references offend you?
Sorry about that, oh and sorry for being white, and sorry for being male and identifying with the gender I was born with (with the occasional kink here and there). If I keep this up people might think I'm Canadian, oh, wait, that was probably insensitive to Canadians, sorry about that too.
Jinxsays...Hi. I'm a social justice warrior. Well, I prefer social justice rogue, cos you know, dexterity is sexier than strength.
Anywaaaaaay. I think I whine less than all you mofos in the comments whining about all the whiners
The "snap" clapping did make me snort out a bit of my drink though. Fair play.
kingmobsays...I liked the video better than the commentary.
I feel bad for the teacher...it feels like he is stuck (doesn't walk away)
I don't really understand this newfangled social justice warrior. I am just glad I missed it. It is always the self-important people that cause the most drama. They think they are so important.
The snap is just weird. No one questions it. This is how we clap now.
ChaosEnginesays...I'm a card carrying Social Justice Warrior.
I want social justice and I'm prepared to fight for it. If that's a pejorative, then it's one I'll happily claim.
But these people aren't after social justice, they're just fucking idiots, like that dumb arise who didn't get Colberts redskin satire.
enochsays...@ChaosEngine
i think most people would consider themselves a social justice warrior of varying degrees.
i do not think it controversial to stand up against:discrimination,exploitation,oppression,bullying etc.
or to promote:equality,fairness and justice for everybody.
i think your comments have revealed that you have a pretty solid moral ground and are pretty even-handed in your dealings.
and then we have people like this bunch.who demand special privileges by way of bullying and intimidation.blissfully unaware of their own disconnect.
so you or i may not view this group as social warriors but that is exactly how they perceive themselves and their actions as being:they think themselves fighting for justice...and they need to be called out on their bullshit.
Mordhaussays...It would appear the SJW's got the original video pulled from youtube. I guess if you can't win an discussion it's better to delete the evidence.
*backup=[...snipped...]
This is another video that covers the same thing sans commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd4kX66uG1M
siftbotsays...Added alternate embed code for this video - backup requested by Mordhaus.
siftbotsays...Replaced video embed code with backup #8479 (supplied by member Mordhaus) - embed replaced by member Mordhaus.
Mordhaussays...Also, http://gawker.com/yale-professor-resigns-over-halloween-costume-debacle-1746790033
The guy in the video took a sabbatical, so he is gone as well, at least for a while.
*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Mordhaus.
Shepppardsays...Doesn't shock me. If that's the level of stupid that gets into Yale these days, I wouldn't want to teach them either.
Basically this:

Sepacoresays...Agreed, and a very important point.
However what I see as worst of all here is so many other students standing around, and none of them are intervening and correcting her.. so I wonder, do they think she's right or that she has a valid point, or maybe just don't realise that the professor is limited in how he interacts with this increasingly-emotional scenario. Whereas she's free to slip the bonds of reality.
Why did she take her backpack off?
If she was male, anyone standing in front would interpret it as likely being preparation for physical interaction (violence)
Makes incorrect claims, gets abusively emotional during discourse and seems to have some sort of partial-interest in either violence or at least to be threatening, these are all good reasons not to take her points seriously.
to scream at the top of your lungs to the dean of students that his job is NOT to create and intellectual space but rather to create a home,and NOT be aware of the incredible disconnect to reality is quite disturbing.
