This seems to be thrusting in two directions. One about trigger warnings and safe spaces and so on, and one about sermons and guilt.<p>One common narrative re safe spaces seems to be: &quot;if something makes you uncomfortable, you should suck it up instead of trying to force everyone else to accommodate you&quot;. I think this is somewhat missing the point, but I can relate to it. I feel like this is the dominant narrative in this thread.<p>But the narrative in the article seems to be: &quot;if something makes you uncomfortable, good! It&#x27;s because you&#x27;re a bad person. You should be a better person instead of asking us to tell you you&#x27;re not bad&quot;.<p>And I pretty strongly disagree with that.<p>For example, if the sermon was all about how gay people are going to hell, and that made a student uncomfortable, that&#x27;s not because the student is a bad person. That&#x27;s because it was a terrible sermon.<p>From the description, this sermon was not obviously terrible. But that still doesn&#x27;t make the student a bad person. Not everyone experiences or expresses emotions in the same ways. That&#x27;s fine. When people start speaking about experiences as if they&#x27;re human universals, and if you don&#x27;t share those experiences, that can make you uncomfortable. That&#x27;s fine too. It doesn&#x27;t make the speaker a bad person, but it doesn&#x27;t make you a bad person either.
