When is this political correctness fad going to end?

[Espe]

LOL, you can't be serious......

Oh, he is. That's the scary part.

[Deleted]

I don't mind people being aware of what they say in public but you have to admit its getting a bit extreme. People getting fired over their facebook postings? seriously?

What's written online is taken seriously and that's a good thing. Why would people need more places to PUBLICLY announce their own stupidity?

[Bapestar]

Really? Wow. @Quetzl dropped a solid post right before yours. I figured you meant to quote him.

If deadmanwalking is the voice of reason, we are all in trouble.

Yea Quetzl did have a solid post, but so did deadmanwalking, even though it was slightly insulting.

[Kapadons]

Bingo. It's that persecution complex they desperately rely on when things don't go exactly their way.

"I got fired for calling my boss an uppity ******. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? It's PC gone mad!!!!111!!"

Can someone please write a script to tell us whether sarahtasher says alt right more or Espe says persecution or victim complex more. I swear it's like ground hog day with every single one of both your posts. The exact same thing every single time.

The next thread I'm just gonna write what I think both of you will say and then when you come along to post I'm willing to bet money I get about 95% of it correct.

Also, bonus points for how many times she uses the roll eyes emoji.

When the PC losers find out that they will be kicked out of their parents house and actually need a job to survive.

[Kraenen]

That's a really long way to say "white men".

You realize republicans don't represent white people... right? Or rednecks, hill billies. Your statement is basically racist

[ArguesWithStrangers]

It will end when a majority of people decide they don't want to put up with it anymore. Most people will do what you reward them for. At the moment, the status of being aggrieved is highly profitable in both tangible rewards for those in the grievance classes, and in perceived moral superiority for those who support the PC dogma. Most people just try to ignore all of it. When the PC culture becomes more entrenched in the power structure and asserts itself more aggressively, those who've been happy to roll their eyes and ignore it will will no longer be able to do so. That is when backlashes begin, and the pendulum begins to swing the other direction.

It's already in the decline. The people that scream about the PC police are the ones now looking for things to get offended about, i.e., politically correct people (who will always exist, let's be real here).

Treat them for the anomolies they are, ignore them, and move on. Trust me guys, you'll be better off for it.

See in cases like that, the Internet needs to have a means in place where those abusing mod power even on private sites can be held accountable if what they say is slanderous or violates the rules they are bound to uphold. Violations could range from removal from the Net, to deletion of content. There's really a lot of ways that companies like Facebook who engage in Shadowbanning could be punished. Really a total remaking of the Internet is what is needed. A total remake complete with photo-ID, as society clearly doesn't have the intelligence to use it in it's current form appropriately.

Ummmm... first you're bemoaning politics (and somehow, the left in America) in the US for leading to an Orwellian Nightmare.... and here you're LITERALLY proposing an Orwellian Nightmare and the complete removal of all freedom on the internet!?

This is why the Alt-Repubs crack me up (and why they've destroyed the Republican party), just admit you see yourself as little dictators with superiority complexes who doesn't understand why the world goes by without saluting you and your "genious" (sp).

When people have less free time to become total retards and retards don't have enough freedom to voice their ridiculous thoughts and opinions and hivemind together to fester their idiocy.

Well.. back in the day. The era of Bush Jr/Donald Dump pretty much secured it is the "Xenophobic Whites" that comprise mostly of rural countries.

Actual Republicans are labled RINOs by them. You have to face it, the Republican Party has been hijacked - and the ACTUAL Republicans are the ones who let it happen when they catered to the fearmongers.

[Super Kami Dende]

I'd say when people stop being over-sensitive whinging cuntbags. But with current trends it seems to be on the rise rather than the decline unfortunately.

I have no idea what this concophony of words and oddball conspiracy theories is meant to say... but I'm here to tell you we live in the cellphone internet genration, son. There will never be a generation that exists that is unable to free themselves of 1 minute of their time to post a twit or a facebook opinion about something.

Yup, that is the problem...

Back in the day what? "Back in the day" democrats fit the bill. Xenophobic whites are a minority. Am I peeling the onion of why liberals have such anti-white bias?

[mvaliz]

The only fad I am seeing lately is anti-PC. There is no PC fad. And I doubt there is even such a thing as PC.

That's kinda how I feel as well. For every "PC" person there is, there's 200 Cynical jackasses bitching about how "I HATE SJWS!!!!"

And look what the idiocy has done! Hell man, people STILL think Blizzard altered the stupid "Tracer Booty" pose because of an SJW complaint, when it was them themselves who agreed with the poster that it was merely a placeholder and doesn't really match the character's personality. The original poster wasn't even insulted or angry at all - was just expressing a creative point.

Then the ANTI-PC dickwads jumped all over Blizzard and the "SJWs" for changing a stupid "Booty Pose" - and insisted that Blizzard not cave into them to realize their "artistic vision" - when it was, in fact, the Anti-PC dickwads who were PREVENTING Blizzard from expressing their artistic creativity by insisting they stay with their placeholder Widowmaker pose for her!

And you know what? none of them learned that damn lesson... hell, there's people here today who STILL have stupid Sigs and Avatars mocking so-called "SJWs" over the Booty pose... and they don't even realize how wrong they were - and that's because they DON'T want to ever be wrong!

Donald Dump rallies say otherwise - his Rallies have clearly brought out the real racists and fearmongers who were too shy to attend clan rallies, but now feel it's OK to publically be racist. Yes, many aren't who support Donald Dump - but I suspect the number of racists to non-racists who support Dump are clearly in the minority.

[Sarange]

Ah, nothing like someone with a crusader avatar (Templars, not exactly known for their strategic acumen) saying that he is not racist, while calling other subhumans in the very same post

The crusades started because of muslim invaders.

[Rabka Uhalla]

your icon might be considered offensive..you get what i'm saying?

Fencers is a leftist feminist retard, you're better off not even engaging with her. She's basically the female equivalent of Endus.

Take a stroll through youtube. The pc fad is there, right along the anti-pc one.

Again, for every "PC" person posting a youtube oppinion, there's 200 ones nerdraging about the one PC Opinion video that got posted. Stop pretending they're in equal numbers... they're clearly not.
