"Your Rights End Where My Feelings Begin"
#1
The rising spectacle in society that is ever growing today.

In a nutshell, this concept boils down to limiting the most basic inalienable rights, such as Free Speech, under the pretense that use of such rights will hurt someone's feelings.

Is it worth losing the ability to mention or discuss anything that may be considered sensitive, just for the sake of feelings, or should we be allowed to say whatever we like, as is the right of Free Speech?

Another recent case of this happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlQ4H0Kdg8

Freedom of expression through physical means is also being attacked. Is this really what the world wants?

Feelings are one thing (as mentioned, the constitution doesn't care), being physically attacked is another.

Coercion is also a thing, you can't just babble to a person without any limits if the person doesn't want to speak with you.
