Satire? We don't need no stinkin' satire! Reality will suffice for comic relief.

Yes, if you're a student at Colorado State University, and been affected by an opinion you find unsavory, help is available. We all know how traumatizing an opposing opinion can be, don't we?

Holy friggin' crap balls!

It's like a free speech zone, where people can gather to protest and what not.

Events usually organized by conservative speakers.

Hopefully, those severely affected by free speech can get disability in the near future.

Looks like the reverse uno they played on free speech. Just read the course descriptions. This is clearly directed at the right wing because they can't stand being called out by wokes on their bigotry. Free speech they're using.

Keep in mind, in some spheres there's nothing worse than accurately labelling bigotry what it is. :nerdy:

So this service is ostensibly for any student but it's been specifically introduced to children of conservative parents who are horrified at the sight of gay rights speech or BLM speech on police brutality?

The "You or Someone You Know" phrasing, like they're talking about something truly traumatic, is a nice touch.

Also, take a look at the groups and offices listed, no way you can jujitsu this as being the work of conservative parents, liberals have to take the L on this one.

Why would liberal kids be offended by free speech?

Woop, Dox47 beat me to it. I was about to share the image. Looking at the courses that are available clearly contradicts their headline so I can tell this is taking a dig at conservatives. They took their language and used it against them implying the left is using their free speech to call it out which is true.

To the right wing, free speech implies they can say racist and transphobic and homophobic things and think they are free from any consequences.
