and do you agree with it? some people love it, others hate it.

safe-spaces are now available at university campuses in case students get 'triggered' , speakers like the magnificent ann coulter have become victims of the no-platform policy universities have jumped on. is this the right thing to do though? isn't university about expanding one's mind and understanding different perspectives?

instead of throwing a fit and spouting vitriol like Trigglypuff here why not respond with an argument and debate and take down the opposition with intellect? why do we want to censor everything and restrict our own thoughts?

i mean, recently a elderly man was censored for saying 'i dont want to play against a girl' on a reality tv game competition because it was deemed sexist... i mean

EDIT: reported. thanks for proving my point.

I'm all for getting rid of censorship, but no.

According the racists and bigots who now have to bite their tongues when they feel like openly expressing their hate and bigotry, very much so , yes

were they? i dont think they were in the UK. i think safe spaces are generally pathetic and people need to grow a pair. there are kids living in war zones on this planet, a few words is not going to savage anyone

but to the extent that it is now? dont you think it's bit extreme with the examples i provided in the OP?

No. People are just no longer afraid to call others out on the ****** up stuff they say.

.

I also LOVE how old people are like, we weren't so sensitive yet back in the day people were throwing fits and calling the police if a black person drank out of the fountain to the right, or attended class with their kids. Or how about how an overreaction like when a whole pool would be cleared out and cleaned because a minority swam in it.

But yeah, back in the old days no one was sensitive and overreacted, and don't forget they all got along

speakers like the magnificent ann coulter have become victims of the no-platform policy universities have jumped on.

Reported for blatant trolling. Literally no one thinks she's "magnificent".

Yes.

Honestly yes its getting out of hand. I feel that if there is a problem than we as a nation should openly discuss it as oppose to saying political correctness terms such as "were as united as ever"

for example...

We don't speak on the flaws of illegal immigration because it offends Latino Americans.

We don't speak on the flaws of Syrian Refugees entering the U.S. because it offends Muslim Americans.

We don't speak of black on black being the highest crime rate because it offends African Americans.

We don't speak on the current racism going on because it offends White Americans.

You see the pattern? If there are issues than they should be called out for what they are who cares who gets offended I rather fix and discuss them than making pretend the flaws are not there.

In a few circumstances, yes.

In most of the times when people complain about 'political correctness', it's just that they need to be a decent human being and recognise that they've upset someone.

Political Correctness has always been around. Just people are mad that MORE people are speaking out against real issues that they would definitely be called a bigot for.

im more curious about where this evil was born? heck even atrl was less politically correct 4 years ago when i joined atrl. it's become so much more censored now

i love ann coulter. she's a goddess and her witticism and humor is unparalleled. sarah palin has a high IQ as well and can be quite funny, but ann will always be the queen to me. katie hopkins might snatch ha crown soon though

so basically what you mean is speaking on the flaws of a real issue is gonna offend someone so lets not speak on it?

Yes it has gone to far. From cultural appropriation to made up genders, this generation has easily become the most sensitive of all. It has gotten to the point that everything one wants to say has to be thought out in the fear that you might offend someone because everything is offensive (talking to you Mr. Obama). I'm so over all the bs

Forgot to mention how now kids are starting to be awarded together for competitions, as in there's no winner because it's bad for a child's set esteem. TF? Losing HELPS you achieve what you want, that's the whole point.

I wish people who complain about political correctness would just say what they really mean: "I don't like that I can no longer express my obnoxious a**hole thoughts without being called out as an obnoxious a**hole."

Absolutely
