It's mostly people who don't go to college that think this is a thing

You're not wrong. Like, I know they think they're being clever but they just look insane.

The notion of safe spaces in colleges is mostly a concept spouted by conservative media to demonize higher education. It's taken a very tiny number of incidents and made a major talking point out of it
The irony here is a large part of the point of college safe spaces is to avoid disruptive, self-absorbed manchildren like this who get off on offending people. Way to demonstrate why they're needed, boys.
When I was in college a decade ago there were rooms all over campus with safe space signs. They literally weren't an issue until Fox News noticed them.

This seems like a pretty classic example of what happens when people make decisions in an echo chamber. If they had either talked to or listened to anyone else about this idea, they would have realized that it was a stupid thing to do; but they clearly did not: they thought it up amongst themselves and congratulated each other on how brilliant it was. If anyone from outside of their circle encouraged them to do it they were either trolling them or equally blind to other opinions and perspectives.
I'll say this I've never seen a safe space sign in the three different Universities I've been to in my college career. Doesn't mean they don't exist but it's not a widespread thing. But even if it was, who do they think they are to attack people that would want such a thing? The alt right are downright vile people and I can't blame some for wanting a break from those kind of garbage people.

Thats so dumb its hilarious
The first college I went to was an art school, and it didn't need safe space signs, because if you go to art school and bring toxic ideas with you, you're gonna have a bad time.
Ha, that's true. Here it seems mostly left leaning people but you just never know which one is a secret hateful alt right shitter

How long is it until we get Conservatives who literally start fucking donkeys because "Oh, Dems' mascot's a donkey, let's make it look like we, Republicans, are makin' Democrats out bitches!!!"?
I'm waiting for them to boycott Starbucks again by intentionally going to Starbucks and buying coffee.
I graduated recently myself at one of the largest (in terms of students) universities in Cali, and over the course of roughly 3 years, I literally saw only two instances of safe spaces, both of which were of two random professor offices. And from what I understand, the only purpose these particular safe spaces served was that students who felt like they were abused or harassed could come in and not have to deal with that kind of shit. THAT'S ALL.
I don't even know what purpose safe spaces as imagined by conservative whackjobs would be fulfilling exactly.
Take any liberal concept, walk it through a carnival house of mirrors, and you have the conservative idea of it.

My favorite thing is conservatives and the alt-right harping on safe spaces and snowflakes and then you look at this. Here is a conservative group literally creating a safe space in order to play out their fetishes in a playpen on campus. You have that crazy female Glenn Beck who got fired for saying how she is pro-choice because removing choice goes against the concept of conservatism because its the government making the choice for you (coincidentally her and Beck hosted a snowflakes award), you have Spencer and his whole thing last night where the folks were getting upset because protesters invaded their racist safe space, and the list goes on.
I remember when the College Republicans at my school all celebrated Robert E. Lee's birthday instead of MLK Jr. Day. You know, because that would show the liberals (that their group is just as racists as believed)!
There were plenty of conservative leaning folks at my school, but only the extreme ones joined up with them. They were truly awful people.

It's so "weak liberals" won't be offended by the " euphorically life changing" speeches from Ben shapiro and James O'Keefe "documentaries".

These pictures look like the stuff genuine infantilists would do, funnily enough.
Seriously lol, this looks more left than right. Kinda missed the point if they're trying to protest
tfw your narrative got away from you so hard you have to issue a statement to remind people to take you seriously.
If words offend you, you're "acting like a child"
Say the grown fucking adults wearing diapers, sucking on pacifiers and coloring in kids books on a college campus
They look weird in context too. This is the dumbest form of protest he could possibly decide on.

Where did this come from? Between the stretched banner and the pixelated text it is making my brain hurt (not to mention the content of that shit).
I've made a huge mistake

This is gold.

That's a lot of words wasted just to say "We're stupid and we don't know what censorship is nor do we want to learn anything."

"Please people! this is a satirical protest, not a display of our personal kinks/fetishes!"

I don't think they thought their plan all the way though. Also, they don't seem to understand what a safe space is.
