How much do you care about political correctness?

@SW-User PC is a simple solution to a complex problem imo. I think the best thing would be for everyone to build a defence against the effects of negative or harmful things people say. Then there's no need for PC because people are able to cope with the frustration that normally arises with it.
Anyway i know it's all theoretical and even if it would happen it would likely take a lot of years maybe even hundreds, and would require enourmous effort put into it as well. :)

@Axelerator I think it's all spiralled out of control and people taking mileage out of sensitivity because they are enabled.

@SW-User I agree, it ends up becoming an excuse that's far too easy to use.
And it will likely keep growing, leading to more and more restrictions as people make them up.

Thank you @Axelerator

You were close though.

@Axelerator

@MsAnnThropy It's always worth a try :)

@Axelerator Why is PC considered so toxic and destructive by so many people on SW?

@Crazychick I couldn't say for people on SW, only been back like a week. But it's quite simple for me really, it's a restriction on free speech. Now that's not always a horrible thing, but when the meaning can shift to whatever people want it to, it becomes a big problem.
You end up in a place where people are afraid to say or discuss many things, because some other people have deemed that it's the wrong way to talk, and that's how it is.
I'd prefer a world where people could talk openly about almost anything, but that would take a long time, if it ever happens.

@Axelerator Free speech is OK within reason, but why do so many people abuse it by using it as an excuse to be abusive? That's when PC should take priority over it.

@MsAnnThropy I agree, but you'll find many who would argue that it is.

@Greybare Can you explain that logically, please?

@SW-User It's certainly a modern mind virus.
