Political Correctness gone mad!

>>talk about how PC sensibilities have ruined your life.

No. 58939

Once I shared a motivational post online that went something like "You're not ugly, you're not weak, you're not stupid! You're doing great, keep up the good work!" I guess someone got mad and told their friends because for a week or so different people kept harassing me, sending threats and telling me I was "ableist" for using the word "stupid".

Other than that I've just experienced many college classes get seriously derailed by new wave feminists taking issue with harmless things or simple facts of life featured in the reading material.

There was this girl I really liked who all of a sudden became a transboi. It was fine, I try not to contradict these people too much but I eventually asked (politely) about wtf was up with being "trans" and identifying as another gender while not taking hormones and still presenting oneself as original gender (girl still showed cleavage all the time, wore dresses and skirts, loved her boobs and ass etc).

She called me a transphobe, whined about how cis people don't understand, blocked me everywhere and never talked to me again.

Not too crazy since we're used to tumblr shit, but I was really shocked to see this bullshit actually have an impact in my life.

I would've just continued to say they were stupid, what else? Dumb? Uninformed? Twats?

No. 58944

I got unfriended for using *trans instead of just trans.

Don't worry about it.

They also go deeply offended by me saying that Tumblr was a massive cesspool of the worst of people.

No. 58945

>>58943

I don't understand why anyone thinks 'stupid' is an 'ableist' term. You don't have to have a mental disability to have a low IQ.

I've heard that it's because it's "a common insult directed towards people with mental disabilities", but it's not exclusively used towards people with mental disabilities, so I don't understand why people get so pissed off about it. It's not like calling someone 'retarded' or a 'spastic'.

No. 58947

>>58945

I don't even think it's about IQ or anything, if you say something fucking ridiculous you're gonna get pulled on it.

No. 58949

>>58947

And that's perfectly reasonable. That's the way it should be.

But apparently it's triggering to call people out on their bullshit.

No. 58951

>>58949

You can call people on their bullshit as much as you want, if they start using excuses why you can't call them out for their shitty behaviour then they're making a fool of you.

PC basically means you can't be oppressive, it's not a bad thing when understood.

It sounds like your "friends" are real soft-asses who can't take any criticism ever.

No. 58953

>>58951

I don't see how that would be 'making a fool' of me unless I fell for their excuses.

I wasn't complaining about political correctness or 'friends'. Do you think I'm another poster or something?

Censorship of any kind is never a good thing. If you think it's a solution to anything, ever you need to go and read some history textbooks friend.

I think you may be cool to chat to, that's why this topic was made.

>PC basically means you can't be oppressive, it's not a bad thing when understood.

What does this mean other than people aren't allowed to profess to having certain views/opinions?

No. 58965

>>58963

Does that sound oppressive to you? Are you oppressed by that?

I've not really heard any views yet, that makes me sad.

Was hoping for some real shiz.

No. 58966

>>58957

I'd like to think I'm generally pretty quick to tear someone down for trying to pull the PC card.
I wouldn't say it riles me up, I just seriously don't understand how the word "stupid" can be interpreted as "ableism".

Although it's generally the tumblr bunch who get offended at stuff like that, so maybe trying to use logic there is just fighting a losing battle.

I'm very curious.

lol they would've crucified you for dumb next since you would be using ableist language about people who can't speak. I swear that SJWs undermine their cause by always taking things a step too far. Who the hell is using "dumb" to describe someone who is mute these days? Word meanings change over time and it makes uber PC pushers look DUMB when they fail to acknowledge this fact.

>>58944
Really? I thought *trans was the more PC term. One of the biggest issues if we try to stay PC is that many SJWs don't agree on nuances and or they constantly change the goalposts.

I find myself purging my fb friend list day after day seeing people turn PC more and more. worst part is it's never subtle, they always have to scream out bragging over it like everyone should care and praise them.

No. 58992

>>58984
It came off as a shitty trolling attempt to me, but either way starving them of attention is probably the safest way to go.

>>58987
I've just been hiding them from my feed. I actually like all my facebook friends or they're just good contacts to keep up with. Most of the people I have hidden are actually people from the other side–legit racists and crazy religious fundies.

No. 58994

You're even a true "ableist" with a broken bone and suffering to them. Tumblr has become worse than the chon these days, like a complete opposite but the same.

None of them understand what PC is at all, it's ridiculous.

And nope, not allowed to use *trans anymore, it's offensive because WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?!

I hate censorship. Even if I don't like something or it upsets me that doesn't mean it should be censored. We are getting into Orwellian territory.

No. 59083

Okay, how does this fit this topic? Genuinely curious–this is definitely not PC, though it is a pretty SJW stance.

On a separate note, flyers like this are pointless or damaging to a SJW cause–it would actually make excellent propaganda for the KKK and other hate groups since it's just alienating potential white male allies. The only places I could perhaps see this flyer not damaging race relations further would be at an historically black college or a women's college–that seems more like the actual intended audience for this piece of trash anyway.

No. 59084

>>59067
Maybe it's because I go to a university where 80% of students work and 70% are over the age of 21, but I don't see much of this bullshit here.

Sure, there's a few signs for the LGBTQ club around. But most of the flyers are for like, language clubs, financial aid, and public speakers. Tumblr doesn't seem to have an overwhelming presence here.
