No, what I did was make fun of someone erecting a mighty strawman and then proceeding to lose to it, faux “offense” covering for real outrage. > [@](#): > > So if I get annoyed that someone sees a piece of fiction dealing with an issue as a violation of their safe space that should be shunned, then I’m actually one who needs the safe space because I was triggered by them being triggered! It’s hypocrisy turtles all the way down! The only one who needs a “safe space” is you. You’re the only one who’s apparently triggered by a nuanced position which doesn’t reduce to a bumper-sticker slogan. As **obfusciatrist** said, it’s simple, but, apparently, not simple enough for your tastes: We’re fine with films tackling difficult concepts. However, we’re not OK with films skating over the difficulty with nary an acknowledgement and assuming the audience will be fine with a sympathetic protagonist doing horrible things with selfish justifications. A movie which deals head-on with difficult topics is respected. A movie which doesn’t even realize it’s handling difficult topics is either stupid, or assumes the audience is. Both of those options are contemptible. Being angry at a contemptible movie is justified. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/welp-guess-i-wont-be-seeing-passengers-then/775069)._
