Because in real life there are no safe spaces, it doesn't do you any good to shy away from things, bad stuff always happens, life is life and you can't control it but you can face it head on and being in a safe space isn't going to do that for you, you need to be prepared to face whatever comes your way in life, there are no safe spaces in life

This is literally an example of a real-life safe space.

And honestly, what are nursing rooms, homes, and just any personal rooms? They’re safe spaces. If there are no safe spaces, we are living in a dystopia.

No, that's your life, and just because you're OK with getting dumped on doesn't mean everyone else is. Kicking people who are already down isn't doing them any favors. Yes, they can't control what other people do, but those other people do have control over their own behavior. In fact, letting bigots and abusers do whatever they want unchecked is giving THEM a safe space.

Some more context on safe spaces is, many marginalized communities usually don't have the environment or resources to get help and feel comfortable, but with the implementation of safe spaces that can become a reality. Many people think that today's environment has become more accepting, which it has, but in several places there are still people who don't feel accepted and are even in danger. Safe spaces provide a place free from political and social repression towards minority groups and creates an environment of safety, comfort, resistance, empathy, emotional intelligence, and love.

people shouldn't be able to just filter out everything that disturbs them, they should find ways to deal with other opinions.
