> To be contrary I find it infantilizing were we to be given the choice not to face situations that we may find 'intolerable'. This is especially true in this case because it is not a strategy that one can use IRL.We already have that choice though, simply a No one can force me to read babble because it's good for me, there for no one should be able to force me to read *all* of babble because they think it's good for me. This is simply an easier way for me to implement my choice, and not much different than way of allowing me to take out sections of the newspaper that would upset me. It's up to me to decide how and why something is good for me.
