Podcast Outro Production, Listener Discretion Warning
A regular contributor has provided a new batch of "listener discretion" warnings and a special outro for the program. The audio clips warn of "wet floors" caused by "cry bullies" and their emotional reactions to the show's content. These segments are intended to last the production through March.
University "Cry Bullies" and Lewis & Clark College Demands
The hosts discuss the "cry bully" phenomenon at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Students issued a list of demands to President Barry Glassner, including a formal apology for his absence during a racial incident and an admission that the college was built on "stolen land." The hosts trace the controversy back to a private joke between two friends that was reported as a hate crime.
The hosts discuss TATP, an explosive nicknamed "Mother of Satan," used in suicide vests. They also investigate reports that Facebook is deleting posts containing the term "cry bully," a word used to describe people who use victimhood to bully others.
"Cry Bullies" and the Rutgers University Free Speech Debate
The hosts introduce the term "cry bullies" to describe students who use claims of emotional unsafety to suppress free speech on college campuses. They critique Professor Brittany Cooper of Rutgers University for arguing that the "right to move through the world unharassed" is as fundamental as the First Amendment. The discussion touches on "white privilege" as a narrative tool used to dismiss concerns about the freedom of the press.
