Clapping banned at Oxford University to stop people being triggered

The new meaning of the word triggered is that what a person does is justified because another person set them up for that response.

The way you looked at me triggered me to kill you and it is all your fault.

Someone should call the station thats holding the next Dem debate and tell them they won't be able to watch due to a concern from unexpected clapping. It'll be a matter of time before one, if not all the candidates start talking about trigger warnings and then vowing not to encourage clapping. Then you'll see your Jazz hands.

Can someone find that video of the DNC speech where they say you must not clap?

At first I thought it was parody of millennial sissies.
But it's real!

I've just figured out how to force Texas to secede from the Union (only after I move there of course)...

"The stars at night"
"are big and bright"

<JAZZHAND><JAZZHAND><JAZZHAND><JAZZHAND>

"deep in the heart of Texas"

"The prairie sky"
"is wide and high"

"Students at the University of Oxford have voted to ‘replace clapping’ with a silent wave because it ‘could trigger anxiety’.

They are instead being told to use ‘jazz hands’, where they wave their hands in the air. The motion to ‘mandate the encouragement of silent clapping’ was successfully passed by the university’s student union officers, following their first meeting of the year on Tuesday. It will come apply at student union events, and if successful, rolled out to other societies and events. Oxford students had argued that alternatives to clapping already existed in some organisations and institutions and that they should follow suit."

Was that the Democratic Socialists of America convention?

Accoring to predictions I've been reading, Texas will be blue by 2028. Could be wrong but if a shit stain like Beto can give Cruz a run for the title, Texas better change pronto. That would start with serious deportations.

Clapping is basic free speech.

Jazz hands triggers me & my triggered state can only be cured by clapping.

has anybody in history been triggered by clapping?

It is an unfair advantage that some people can clap much louder than the others around them, causing the quiet clappers to feel they have lost some of their voice in the matter. Making them feel less important.
Everyone waving is a much more fair practice when voicing an opinion.
Until some wise guy gets one of those large foam hands and starts waving that around…
