Reply to comment by Ange1ofD4rkness in Yungblud says he will provide a mental health safe space for fans on tour by TheScaryWatchdog

It's not uncommon for people to get overwhelmed at concerts, even when not in a physical space like the pit. Concerts are loud, crowded, and hot.

People with any number of disorders from anxiety to ASD could get overwhelmed. Having an out of the way safe space they can retreat to if that happens means more people can enjoy the concert.

Him having this may mean people who would normally never go to a concert may go to his.

God forbid someone try to push their limits a little bit and then realize they messed up.

Having a designated quiet zone might make the difference between someone being able to take a break and then get back out there, and having to leave entirely (at which point they'll probably never give a concert a try again because of the awful experience)

You're talking to a brick wall. His retort will likely be something along the lines of: "like I said, don't go to concerts then". The idea of including people that have some kind of hardship is totally foreign to so many people. Even when it's something simple that harms no one, takes nothing away from anybody, and they wouldn't even be aware of going on unless someone told them about it. Hopefully I'm wrong though! And I appreciate that someone still has the patience to shout into the void the obvious human compassion that should be the bare minimum standard though!
