The issue with "political correctness" is that it's determining what is and isn't a "correct" opinion. People are actively working to limit and silence these "incorrect opinions" no matter what their content may be, and because mainstream media falls on the side of political correctness, people are pandering to these ridiculous beliefs.
The issue with more people who say things like "SJW" or "PC culture" is that they often take a hard stance in the other side of the fence, and the hard stance on that side is filled with hatred and negativity.
For example; any black death at the hands of a white police officer. The "PC" side jumps onto "Well this is the absolute worst thing ever, an outrage, this is terrible, something must be done to punish this white cop" while the other side say "this is bullshit. He clearly did this and that to deserve it".
When you break it down, one of these sides is pushing towards looking into the system and putting them on trial, which will decide their fate (although unfortunately they won't accept a decision that doesn't fit their agenda). The other side is immediately dismissing the possibility of murder at the hands of someone in a position of power, for what?
Overall, if you take a hard stance on anything you're in the wrong place. Political correctness is about being a victim and silencing others (for example, Nick has called me homophobic because I personally don't believe there is any need for an LBGTQ+batmansymbol-^% parade). The opposite is about feeling that people SHOULD feel insulted and hurt, even though those people very often have not had to overcome as much adversity to actually feel like they are no longer being insulted and hurt.
In short, stop being a cunt.
