The British contingent of snowflakery in the form of their largest national student union has issued rules for attendees at their annual convention that they should refrains from clapping or cheering during the event because it has “serious impact” on the accessibility of the conference to the deaf and they should show approval through "jazz hands" instead, or else those disrespecting the order will suffer "consequences" if they do not. Empathy gone insane.

This isn’t the first time the student union has tackled the issue of clapping. In the past, some NUS events banned clapping because it might “trigger anxiety”.

Please do not suggest the group order the audience to cease breathing in sympathy with any asthma suffers in the crowd, as these nimrods might envoke the imperative on their willing followers with deaths as a result.
