Any college age person who can’t handle looking at this mascot should probably just shoot themselves now. Life is just too hard for them away from the protection of mummy and daddy.

She doesn’t want to go to Oregon, the beaver state. How sexist is that?

The Wichita State Shocker mascot was given a friendlier looking overhaul a number of years ago, but it wasn’t because of pussified students. I preferred the meaner looking WU Shock. If you’re going to have a mascot, make it a fighter, not a passive piece of material.

This special snowflake should never, ever go watch a PG-13 rated movie, much less anything R-rated. The experience would traumatize her to the point where she would have to drop out of college.

I also hope she never sees graffiti. Some of it conveys quite violent messages.

I also hope she never accidentally wanders over to the wrong side of town. Some of the people she might view there are really scary people, covered with tattoos and piercings and generally taking on aggressive appearances.

In fact, I think the best thing for this little precious snowflake is to go back home to mommy and daddy and lock herself in the basement, without any TV, internet, radio, or any other means of interacting with the real world. If her parents don’t have a basement, she can pin cardboard over her bedroom windows. That world out there is an intensely scary place!

Clint Eastwood was right.

College kids today are “pu$$ies.”

OTOH, a lunatic yelling ‘ Allahu Akbar’ and charging these snowflakes’ necks with a machete is just all sugarplums and kumbaya.
Welcome in to our safe space, let’s coexist.
Yep, that’s the ticket.

Drat, I looked at the article again and saw that the special snowflake is a professor.

Goodness, she better quit her job posthaste and run back home to mommy and daddy’s basement! Otherwise, she might actually encounter students, some of whom can be really scary.

I dunno.

After seeing James O’Keefe’s video this morning of the triggered Columbia University student, I’m not sure they would be that hard to find.
