Reply to comment by ccoyote1 in Dartmouth cancels live event due to fear of protesters by Hilarias_Glucose_Cup

There's also the fact that by giving these people a platform attached to Dartmouth they help legitimize their position. These chumps could go on to say 'I have a well attended talk on this topic at Dartmouth,' which will give it an air of legitimacy that it does not deserve. These folks aren't being silenced or cancelled, they just aren't being handed a microphone from a college that doesn't feel like they're worth the trouble and headache.

I love that a Harvard evolutionary biologist talking about the biology of male and female is summarily dismissed as "these chumps" 😂

I'm sorry, is your position that colleges are coddled playpens or do you believe that every member of faculty at a prestigious university knows best? Pick a lane buddy.

This person isn't new to the game and has been repeated corrected by many people in their field.

I completely agree with you. Anyone who doesn’t want to support the truth should have their platforms taken away. It’s just wasting everyone’s time. We shouldn’t have to fund theories that don’t support the majority of agreed upon science either!

Your use of 'majority of agreed upon science' is a convincing argument that you don't understand science. Additionally, you are far less clever, ironic, or pointed than you think you are being. It's not about taking platforms away it's about not having to provide them to people who are bad faith actors. Much like your argument above, you aren't actually trying to think deeply about the issue but rather mock the very serious and complex question. Which... is basically what these stupid fucking content creators were looking to do. Whenever someone claims that they can't have an intelligent debate on campus they have always demonstrated resistance to seeing the other side's position, remained ignorant of the materials surrounding the issue, and really are just hoping to get cell phone footage that can be spun for 15 minutes on fox news and a little fawning over at CPAC next year.

Yes. Well there are 666 floors of fright - they are not always going to be winners.

Look at then occasional fucknut in some election that touts his MIT or Wharton degree. Every once in a while madness takes it’s toll…
