Basically the 'do not harm' = 'do not offend' principle is a complete con. The snowflakes are usually underneath nasty inquisitors. The 'do not offend' principle is a short cut to complete control over the expression of viewpoints and the aim is to intimidate. If you can't express a view, can you hold it? It becomes more and more difficult; the ideal for these people is to prevent people even thinking unacceptable thoughts. Unacceptable to who? To the dominant intellectual self-styled elite which was once the Catholic Church or, in Russia, Stalin's CP, but in the West is now the loose lib-lab bigoted confederation of busybodies. As Bertrand Russell wrote, "If the only way to create a more just society economically is by extinguishing the spirit of free enquiry, the price is too high". When a movement does not even produce a 'more just society economically' on top of that there is even less reason to be in favour of the expression of free thought. But the fear is always there, and will be while universities behave as they do currently.
