Look up "Yuri Bezmenov", and be enlightened. His insight on subversion is eye opening. I'd link some stuff, but I'd probably be banned.
I just linked to it. It was in Call of Duty, hardly a lunatic fringe source.

#142Am I the only one who finds it very ironic that you can't use the "n-word" because it offends the African American community. Yet when you listen to rap music, it's all nigga this and nigga that.
Makes me wonder if these offended students first complain, and then drive home singing along with Snoop Dogg.

There's a bit of irony that, in response to a commoditization of education, your response is to blame "marxists." If anyone, blame marshall field because the customer definitely isn't always right.

#144WTF. There's is literally a stand-up skit[0] on this. Moreover, any quick research would show it's the Mandarin filler word. Plus, I dunno, just ask the other Mandarin-speaking faculties and students? Do you know the number 99 (nine-nine) sounds like the derogatory term for mammary glands in Mandarin? Are they going to redact every instance of the number on campus, on grounds of potential sexual harassment? [0] https…
They didnt have to ask mandarin speakers. The admin agree that it is a mandarin word, but that understandably people got upset because it sounds like an US slur.

#145>psychological safety of our students Are those student's even allowed to watch the news or is "Detective Barbie" the only watchable thing?
Detective Barbie is very problematic due to extensive transphobic and gender-normative storytelling. Here at the UCC (University of Corrected Culture), we only allow our students to watch videos of kittens.
Damn you right! Thanks for the big laugh :)
Are you watching the Kittens in B/W or are colors allowed?

It existed before, but social media gave it the spark that set it all on fire.

That's not the problem, the problem is that a Student should NOT be a Customer but a Student.

#148Honestly, I'm shocked everytime I read this stuff from american universities. Why is this happening? Because it's not the first nor second time that I read about events similar to this one.
>>Why is this happening? Cancel Culture.
As much as I totally understand the downvoting of this comment, it unfortunately isn't entirely wrong. I desperately want to be an all-in liberal person, and I would rather not have stock phrases in existence that can be misappropriated by the Donald Trump / Katie Hopkins' of the world, but with any knee-jerk reaction from humans there are people who take them to extremes, and this story is one of an increasing number of examples.
Thankfully, we have a media source that is willing to call out stupid examples of suffocating over-liberalism. Most other people don't, all their news is being filtered by traditional (and clickbait) media, and fewer and fewer people are actually looking to get the real story from the primary sources.
That said, I don't think this particular moniker is going to help much. It's already been polluted.

No, racists that are upset that it's not socially acceptable to demonstrate their racism this way conplain about this a lot, you aren't the only one.
Also, within the African American community there has very long been a very large group that has attacked this trend in that particular form of popular entertainment.
And, finally, beyond that, context matters.

Then OP shouldn't point to some amorphous blob of "marxists," just because they're an easy enemy.
