The visual of a few hundred people walking out might make the university think twice about who they pick for their graduation speakers, but this was also after all of their checks clears that (partially) paid Seinfelds appearance fee. no clue if his being there was a surprise or not (i doubt it was), but there's plenty of motive to attend the event regardless. i'm sure plenty of the people who walked out returned after he left-- it's not like they went to graduation just cause and then left, they probably had people they cared about graduating, which was why they attended in the first place. On one hand, I commend them for having a belief system theyre willing to to stand up for, on the other hand, I repeat what I said not everyone is going to have the same views as you do, and just walking away isnt going to make it disappear. it's not just walking away? it's protest. obv it's not going to trigger immediate societal change but it makes a statement and spreads the message --- waiter! waiter! more yuri please!! she/her. trans rights <cite>Darkfire12 posted [p:980365622] in around 200...
