I did google it. But I'm still not sure how you were using the parable in relation to biker here.
I'm suggesting Biker thinks that this small thing, normalizing PC language, might lead to things he is not interested in accepting such as the expectation that he practice PC language in his life or respect identities he doesn't accept as legitimate, whether that be trans, non-binary, or whatever. I'm reminded of a recent discussion that I had with Neo in which I pointed out that theists may perceive atheists as a threat because they don't accept belief in God which they see as essential to a good, prosperous society. Atheists likewise see theists a threat on the presumption that their revealed religious beliefs and irrationality will pose a threat to a well-ordered secular society. The nose of the camel in this case is a larger liberal culture which Biker rejects and sees as a threat to what he considers essential.
