I got really happy until I clicked the article and saw that you were using the extension. I really thought something popped off because someone was wearing the John Oliver hat.
That said, let's just go ahead and get it out of the way. No. Universities aren't supposed to be safe spaces, but safe spaces can exist within universities. If that dude wasn't breaking the rules, he can wear what the fuck he wants. Stop hassling people in public spaces for wearing things you don't like.

I tried to edit the text in the original post since I have the Drumpfinator add-on but it keeps changing back to "Drumpf" instead of "Trump" no matter what I do!
EDIT: I think it's working properly now?

I would welcome more people to wear these hats, that way I can know to avoid them.

Thread title should be: Coddled Buffoon Triggered by Hat.
I knew a guy last year in high school who would wear a Trump hat to school every day and ran the Donald Trump for President club.
He's Japanese, he isn't eligible to vote because he isn't a citizen, and our school is located in downtown Manhattan with a majority Asian and South Asian population.
Nothing surprises me anymore.

Seems like that woman really needs to get over herself. Just let them wear the hat and move on.
Plus this.

Bullshit like this is exactly why people like trump so much in the first place. Like, the fuck happened to ignoring idiots and going about your business. No I saw something that I don't like I must speak up and cause a ruckus.

Right!
"Okay, so this person is likely someone I don't need to interact with, ever."
And move on with your day.

Wear a hat that supports a racist and get prepared to be criticised.

Trump did say he would make anime real.
Its a university a bunch of people just coming into adulthood expanding their minds and wanting to make change. Speaking out is a major part of the whole theme and idea of going to university. It wasn't exactly a ruckus. Where did you go to university soviet russia?

It's a goddamn hat, he's not wearing the confederate flag, a swastika or some indian mascot, which would still be only drawings but with much more history. Move on and let it go.

When I grab the hat from your head, I'm not harassing you, I'm criticizing you.

Cringy ass shit. Trump in that video only makes it further cringier.
Nah. Society can reject his bullshit. More like deal with people hassling you for believing in bullshit you put on display in public spaces
I think people are missing that this is in Canada. Openly supporting Trump is not going to go over well. The dude is only rolling that hat because it's at a University and he wants to get attention. He did that in a bar he would be lucky to escape with a beer shower and most likely get a smack from someone trying to impress the girl.
Sure and run up to a random person and criticize them and prepare to look like an asshole and provoke commentary on how that's inappropriate.

Absolutely.
She's an asshole.
He's wearing a hat that represents racism.
I'm not being sarcastic both are true.

Tell somebody that they can't wear the hat and that you're going to get the president of the university to personally come down and scold them, and get ridiculed as a silly bully.
Very simple transactions all around.

Sure. She's being an idiot. I just have zero sympathy for people who endorse racists.
Also this is one woman and now it's national news.
That's certainly the best way to look at it.
Mods, if you would please update the title to be more accurate.
You a wear a hat that is built on a platform that hates me you damn right I'll have something to say about it.

That's about as nice as anyone is going to get to someone wearing a Trump hat in Canada tbh.

Look, I'm no fan of Donald Trump or his campaign, but you can't go around preaching that you want a space where everyone feels safe and included, and then go and threaten someone over a hat. That kind of hypocritical attitude is a major reason why Trump has support among moderates. There will always be racists and bigots, but you can't seriously claim to be in support of free speech if you mean "free speech that goes along with what I find acceptable." All that does is push people away from what is a positive message.
It agitates me when people act like bullies under the guise of social justice.

But do you randomly accost people for it? The guy is a dork, but the woman behaved inappropriately as well.
