Your Opinion of Political Correctness

[Caninope]

So for the fourth time, you don't know what political correctness actually is, despite the fact that multiple people have tried to explain it to you, and will just keep regurgitating the same flawed arguments.
I think I'm about done here.

You keep telling me I don't know what it is yet you've not given a definition while I have. So what is it?

Encouraging someone to avoid offensive actions and/or phrases is not censorship, which is what you're alleging.

[Ucropi]

You keep telling me I don't know what it is yet you've not given a definition while I have. So what is it?

the avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against

OR

demonstrating progressive ideals, esp by avoiding vocabulary that is considered offensive, discriminatory, or judgmental

So exactly the definition that i've posted multiple times, now maybe though Juristonia could be a big boy and answer.

What I am alleging has nothing to do with the definition I have posted multiple times.

No, this definition is nothing like what you've been saying it is because political correctness is not censorship.

Um no. The definition I have posted mulitple times(seriously go back a few pages) was taken directly off of google.

Actually, it looks to me like you're trying to play a semantics game and moving the goalposts.

[Caninope]

Yes.

Avoiding offensive behavior that marginalizes =/= censorship

[Keyboard Warriors]

No, this definition is nothing like what you've been saying it is because political correctness is not censorship.

Um no. The definition I have posted mulitple times(seriously go back a few pages) was taken directly off of google.

So then why did you just insist that political correctness was censorship? I have the quote right here:

Political Correctness is censorship.

[Ucropi]

Um no. The definition I have posted mulitple times(seriously go back a few pages) was taken directly off of google.

Yes.

Avoiding offensive behavior that marginalizes =/= censorship

Clearly what I wrote. Caught me.

As per Google

po·lit·i·cal cor·rect·ness
noun
the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.

Um no. The definition I have posted mulitple times(seriously go back a few pages) was taken directly off of google.

It is literally telling you there are words you cannot say. Are you telling me I'm wrong?

[Keyboard Warriors]

Yes.

Avoiding offensive behavior that marginalizes =/= censorship

Clearly what I wrote. Caught me.

As per Google

Considering you used the definition to justify this here:

Political Correctness is exactly that! You are telling them what they can and cannot say.

You don't seem to have a good grasp on what the definition means.

[The Batorys]

It's intolerably insufferable and it needs to go the way of the dinosaur in a similarly cataclysmic end. It is an enemy to any freedom of speech or thought and it has become a tool for oppression and double standard.

Pretty much this. Plus, it's heavily used here in NSG to stifle opposing views, which I find incredibly abhorrent in a forum that supposedly revolves around free expression of opinions. I particularly despise the use of PC in mob posting, where a thundering waterfall of posts descends on anyone who opposes the "correct" truth.

Yeah, those people who want to post bigoted, hateful opinions are so oppressed. It's like a violation of their human rights.

That is your definition of political correctness, yes. You have also claimed that political correctness is censorship, here. The definition you posted is not the definition of censorship.

[Caninope]

So then why did you just insist that political correctness was censorship? I have the quote right here:

It is literally telling you there are words you cannot say. Are you telling me I'm wrong?

No, it is literally telling you words you should not say. Modal verbs are important.

[The Batorys]

Wait, literally?

Political correctness is retarded. Is that not okay?

That's awful edgy there.

He must be the coolest kid in the whole school.

Political Correctness is avoiding offensive behavour etc. Right?
The act of impossing PC on people is what causes censorship. How is this hard to follow?

[Viritica]

Well, I like to think I have the right to defend myself from criticism.

Of course you do. And people have the right to call other people "assholes" when they're racist, sexist, or whatever.

And I'm neither racist or sexist.

[Viritica]

Guys, guys, I'm now offended by the term "citizen". From now I want to be referred to as a US documented worker.

[The Batorys]

Well fuck morals.

Because the way to live a happy and social life is to just utterly reject the moral and ethical codes of a society, amirite or amirite?

Is it really so hard to show someone just a little respect by saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. I won't call you by <insert slur here> anymore because I know that it offends you," ?

I share your bafflement on this.

I don't get people insisting on calling people things that they know offend them. If I'm informed that calling someone [slur] offends them, it costs me nothing to avoid using that slur.

[Ucropi]

Of course you do. And people have the right to call other people "assholes" when they're racist, sexist, or whatever.

And I'm neither racist or sexist.

I'm a little confused with what "having the right to call people "assholes"" has to do with anything?

[Keyboard Warriors]

Which we aren't going to do. Feel free to call us assholes for declining your request though.

No one is imposing anything. You're free to ignore the people telling you to not say offensive stuff.

No one is arguing for the use of slurs, we just don't want to be told what we can or cannot say even if we wouldn't say it anyways.

I'm not too sure.
