Politically incorrect

[Pyrrho]

What are you trying to do, get people banned?  Just imagine posting the most offensive thing one could possibly state.  What do you think would be the results of doing such a thing?

I don't see anything in the forum rules about politically correct.

There is no rule specifically mentioning political correctness, but that does not mean that the most politically incorrect thing one can think of would be acceptable here.

To avoid problems of terminology, here is what "political correctness" means:

political correctness

The avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insultgroups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against

Presumably, to be maximally politically incorrect would require that one meet all of the options, so that one uses a form of expression that excludes, marginalizes, AND insults people who are socially disadvantaged and discriminated against.

And there is a rule against flaming, which involves insulting members, so it would be easy enough for a highly developed piece of political incorrectness to be a violation of forum rules.

Indeed, I can think of (but would never say) something that would be extremely politically incorrect that would be flaming a blind, black, female member of the forum.  (I would not do so for a variety of reasons, one being that I do not have the relevant prejudices that would tend to motivate such a thing, and I also rather like that particular member, which is one reason why I am willing to use her as an example for this post.)

But even if there were, I could make it clear what I think is most politically incorrect without saying it.  Just string these words together in a negative way:  n-word, feminist, lazy, Nazi, communist, welfare, socialist, liberal, atheist, unpatriotic, entitled, elitist, unmarried mother.  Let your imagination run free.  That's the most politically incorrect statement.

If I do the stringing together, then it is my imagination, not yours, that creates the final sentence.
