Politically Correct Wasteland

by freemindfade in

this was a comment i made from another post, but i would like to hear some people discuss this.

i know the social justice warriors will scream i'm some sort of trump supporter for what i say even though i don't agree with his ideas and no i am not voting for him... i accept this is a go to for them.. i think we have fallen into a pc vacuum.. criticizing someones religion = racism!.

telling someone to not be so sensitive = misogyny!.

And that biggest motivation of the movement (especially in these discussion board situations) is Virtue Signalling.

I find that a little nauseating but signal away kids

Thankfully, this forum is a place of intelligent discussion and robust argument.

it is, as you and i have seen together a few times and that is what I love. A debate that gets intense but every one can still joke and be normal afterwords without taking differences of opinion as offensive. My point with this OP is too many people feel abused in a disagreement type of situation. People can be "mean":

Intentionally to belittle someone
Some aren't really trying to attack the person but the issue
Sometimes people are even trying to attack anything

Still people cry foul. I am not talking about giving people the license to be bullies, but more to the people who feel bullied over EVERYTHING that they need to toughin up, just a bit at least.

If someone is intentionally attacking you, laugh at them, or ignore them, you then have completely disarmed them. If they aren't really attacking you personally but an issue give your opinion but don't say how they are ruining your life because they disagree with you (maybe even sharply).

I used the trump example because in the past I have seen this as an insult thrown at someone. (maybe he will be the new Godwin's nazi/hitler lol).

Having people with different opinions should be celebrated not cried about. no matter what I say on here I know and expect people not to agree, and even if they stoop to calling me names, I am still not going to whine about it, its just the internet after.

Reminder about language and content

by Simon in

while the vast majority of posts that the majority of posters share are perfectly fine (which we appreciate) i've noticed we have a few cases where bad language, crude innuendo and outright misogyny is creeping in.. this is not acceptable.. we're not certainly not prudish and neither are we going to enforce puritanical rules - sometimes a politically incorrect joke is funny as hell and sometimes strong language is justified.

but often times content is completely out of place and cannot be justified.. so, please don't post crude content or use expletives just to be "shocking".

it's childish and immature and won't be tolerated.. thank you to all the people this has nothing at all to do with..

Yea I said that I would be called a Trump supporter regardless and that's what happened. Simply by suggesting that everyone is having knee jerk reactions to every word everyone says.

If you used foul language in a court of law,

I haven't tried that yet, but once when I getting questioned by lawyers for jury duty I did say I felt when I was a victim of a theft justice was not served. When asked why, I said "because I believe this is a court of law not justice"... and I was excused from having to do jury duty by the judge. I don't think he appreciated it very much

Trump is disrespectful of women. That should be obvious to anyone who's been awake for the past several months.

What does what I said have to do with trump lol!? Trump is the king of misogyny, no doubt. I'm talking about the thin skinned majority on this DB that seem so quick to make these claims about anyone not sharing their views. I'm not even talking about politics. I'm just talking about crying foul when there isn't one. The hyper PC sensitivity can actually take weight away from things like racism, rabbid attacks/bullying, misogyny, etc when you make EVERYTHING one of those things. That is my point
