Feminist Group Warns: Clapping is "Triggering," Use "Jazz Hands" Instead

The NUS Women's Campaign, which states that it "exists to represent and extend and defend the rights of women students," is asking people to be "mindful" about clapping, as the loud noise could be "triggering" for some people.

Instead, the group is asking members to use "jazz hands," as they are silent.

This is not a joke. This is the actual tweet that went out:

Anyone that mental ill needs help.

[VanDeKoik]

No!!! He's is signaling his approval! He doesn't want to trigger a attack by clapping!!!

[showme_the_Glory]

golf clap, beauty queen wave, snapping fingers, sign language, 1 finger,

[I want the USA back]

Feminazism is a mental illness.

[Organic Panic]

REAGAN UP TWINKLES!!!

From the Urban Dictionaary:

Jazz hand

When one snaps their fingers and states “jazz hands” in order to let another friend know they farted in public, without anyone one else knowing.

Ugh... I just threw up a little in my mouth...

[grimalkin]

These people are very ill.

Clearly Jazz Hands are racist. I mean I can’t even watch without thinking of Al Jolson in blackface. So feminists vs. race pimps could be fun.

LOL

[wildbill]

Showing appreciation by a “yeeeehaaa” is probably out of the question, eh?

[Secret Agent Man]

I’d say their suggestion is racist. If I wanted to be a pretzel-logic liberal nutbag.

[catnipman]

Uh, is this what "jazz hands" looks like or is this more like just "jazz fingers"?
