Kids are so sensitive these days that many comedians including Chris Rock and Larry The Cable Guy won't perform at colleges anymore because students get upset at their jokes.  I was definitely a free range kid. My parents had to drag me home before dark.  There are no "trigger warnings" in real life. I feel sorry for these kids. How are they going to cope with situations in life that are uncomfortable and challenging to their personal, world view? Things don't always rub you the right way, but like my mom used to say  when I felt that way, "Tough shit".

It's pretty sad when comedians won't go to colleges because they're concerned their jokes will offend the kids. That's way too sensitive. They are in for a rude awakening once they're out in the real world, because, as you say, life outside of school does not have trigger warnings, nor should it.

Man, kids today would have a fit if a group like The Village People came to play at their school, like they did at mine back in 1993. Was I offended by the stereotypes in the group? No. I was standing on a chair dancing, and moving my arms in letter formation to "YMCA." THAT is how you have fun while avoiding being offended.
