The big problem is when these "safe spaces" become dominant in a given setting. E.g. if a student union insists that every meeting they arrange should be a safe space, and as a result deny a platform for people that might offend.

Also this is a problem when it is held in a public place. A student walking from his dorm to his class should not be compelled to speak in a manner that you deem acceptable.
