Political Correctness

[Regina]

It can go too far. I get tired of when little trivial things, or even humour, are taken out of context and people get offended at it. Sometimes, humour is genuinely funny way to approach taboo topics.

I also get sick of seeing straight white liberals "getting offended" on other peoples' bahalves, and not being sincere about it. For example, if you want to speak out and show your support for LGBT people, I really appreciate that. What I don't need is you telling me when to be offended. I have the right to see homophobia in a particular instance or to not see homophobia, I don't need to be told "this is offensive and you should be outraged". I can decide that for myself.

Another thing is that selective outrage I'm always calling out. If you're going to be PC, at least be fucking consistent with it. I'm tired of seeing the liberals go off on someone who is in a relatively "privileged" position in society for something, and then turn a blind eye when someone who is in some way a minority does the exact same thing.

Shit like this pisses me off;




I'm not saying anything here is right or wrong. I'm just saying, if you want to be a PC brigade member who wants to sensor everything in society, you have to have that standard for everyone, not just for straight white Christians. You can either not take offense at anything, or take offense to everything. There's no one standard for one group of people and then a completely different standard for everyone else. Misogyny is misogyny whether it's coming out the mouth of a straight or a gay man, and anti-semitism is still anti-semitism when it's coming from a Muslim.
