UK University Demands that Comedians Sign Contract Guaranteeing a Humor Safe Space

Not unbelievable.

"Attached is a short behavioural agreement form that we will ask for you to sign on the day to avoid problems," wrote Fisayo Eniolorunda, the club's event organizer, in an email to Kisin and four other comedians sent Sunday.

"This comedy night... aims to provide a safe space for everyone to share and listen to Comedy," states the behavioral agreement form. "This contract has been written to ensure an environment where joy, love, and acceptance are reciprocated by all."

"By signing this contract, you are agreeing to our no tolerance policy with regards to racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-religion or anti-atheism."

Biphobia?

"All topics must be presented in a way that is respectful and kind. It does not mean that these topics can not be discussed. But, it must be done in a respectful and non-abusive way," the agreement added.

Kisin told PJ Media that he initially "couldn’t believe it."

Here's a question which I think is worth discussing: Have we reached "Peak SJW," which means the high point of SJW Neo-Puritanism for Mutants, but also means the point at which it declines?

I have not thought we hit this point at which people regain their sanity before. That might have been a big difference between me and various cucks, who always told themselves "This too will pass, mustn't say anything too imprudent about the current situation, just offer occasional jibes about SJW excesses and sometimes a Sternly Worded Essay," whereas I saw this as a growing and very serious threat that showed no signs of abating. Quite the opposite.

For some reason, though, now I'm open to the possibility that we might be on the verge of a fight-back, and that we might be living in the Last Days of NPC Mobs.

Was the Kevin Hart mob-hunt a scalp too far? Was attacking athletes for routine tweets -- boys calling their friends "fags" -- when they were 14 or 15 years old too far?

Look at these sanctimonious Neo-Puritans piously telling us the athletes brought it on themselves by being... children at one point:

The reporters are claiming that the athletes did this to themselves because of course if someone said "fag" when he was 14, then it's newsworthy.

Really? When did that become newsworthy?

Is it newsworthy if a female reporter at USAToday tends to sleep with men on her first date or non-date? If a semi-prominent online "reporter" has a big and well-known coke habit, why isn't that also news?

If we're not exercising any level of discrimination between what is newsworthy and what is not newsworthy, why are reporters' secrets secret?

If everything is "newsworthy," then let the reporters' secrets flow.

These media companies actually have people on staff whose primary job it is to dig up social media embarrassments of anybody and scalp them. That's Buzzfeed Andrew's job at CNN. And that's also Oliver Darcy's job there -- well, his is partly that, partly joining up with left-wing pressure groups to pressure companies into deplatforming people.

CNN blackmails people into silence. But they don't call it that -- they call it Quality Journalism.

If the media has declared it open season on citizens, in what way are they not the enemy of the people?

Are people finally ready to start taking the scalps of the scalp hunters?

Maybe reporters need some "teachable moments" too. After all, if they're cheating, or sexually promiscuous, or snorting half their paycheck up their nose, they did it to themselves, John.

Corrected: BTW, John Ekdahl points out that it was USA Today Sports put out an article "Credibly accused sex offenders should not coach youth basketball, girls or boys, without deeper investigation. Can't we all agree on that?" he asked.
