– XXI –

Sensitivity is the new form of censorship. It is the newest notion in attempt to rid the world of offense. Yet such practitioners of sensitivity editing, reading, and viewing find offense wherever they look. They do the world a disservice. The world is not ideal. It is a mixed bag of stimuli; none of which is exclusively interested in regards to one's tolerance or sense of sensitivity. Children and people need to have frank and open discussions regarding intolerance, not censor material in which they are never exposed to it. The human condition is a varied spectrum of experiences. Not all of which are positive or kind. Exposure, discussions, and understanding them are intricate parts when experiencing them and encountering them, but also in confronting them and processing them.
