By that logic you similarly have the option to not provide a place for other people to express themselves when it comes to your own things. That's your expression when it comes to your own things. Pretty straightforward.

Totally disagree.
Anyone who thinks our kids should be on the battlefront about to be slaughtered instead of being able to live freely, needs their priorities stratightend-out.
And words actually DO hurt. They are a major cause of suicide and add to very major mental health issues.

Ahha!
I see here we have an example of the type of person the Instagram has implemented the 'turn comments off' function for.
Since I could care less to quote the three of you who replied to me I'll post my reply here:
Why don't we shift away from safe spaces (which suck and are University proven to suck) and do some preventative care (ex. teach people to stand up for themselves). We love to put band-aids on things, yet this is a mindset and strength problem, which needs to be addressed accordingly.
Let me ask you this: when someone cries about being bullied, what does that say to you? It says that person is weaker than the bully. So what should be done? Build that person up. I never said mock them or laugh at them. Build that person up. That's the solution.
Sadly, the victim mentality is easier to use than the "no f*cks given" mentality so we choose to add censorship and settings to "fix" the problem.
And yes, if I had my way, this world would run off Darwin 101: survival of the fittest. Imagine how future generations would look!

I think that "approach" mentioned at the end has been attempted in the 1940s (as far as one the more recent impactful and notorious occurrences go). We all know too well how that worked out and what it all meant and means. Seems like there's really nothing to discuss there beyond that (think Godwin's Law).
Nope nobody needs a thicker skin, if they can decide not to hear their opinions on them, they can have a right to do so.
