Forums - Politics - Is it possible to be 100 % Politically correct?

No, you can't be 100% PC. Being PC itself is sort of like that old expression about an ostrich hiding its head in the sand. Hiding from a problem rather than looking for solutions to said problem. Issues don't magically disappear if you ignore them, they stay the same with people ignoring the issue or it makes the issue worse. Anything that you say can be interpreted by stupid people as something that is racist, sexist, homophobic, ablest, etc. no matter how much you try to stay away from that stuff. I've seen plenty of people who consider themselves PC get attacked by fellow politically correct people for wording something "the wrong way".

Tumblerinas can be 100% PC.

No, everyone will be offended by something. Society as a whole has gotten WAY too oversensitive and it is ridiculous to the point I just tell people that I am offended by them getting offended by things I say. People need to stop taking things the wrong way.

Now there are limitations such as the N bomb, which is totally uncalled for. Things of that nature sure, no one should be using terms like that. But 90% of crap people cry about nowadays is totally ridiculous and shows nothing more than people like to complain about SOMETHING, no matter how ludicrous yhe claim may be.

. What is a tumblerina, then maybe I'll argue. :p

 

It's the nickname for people who are addicted to tumbler. Usually refers to feminists, LGBTQ+ followers, liberals, etc.

No, noone could or should be politically correct 100%. What we should do instead is try to be more empathic and understanding of others struggles and challenges and not judge others life experiences by just our own life experiences.

No, you'll always end up offending someone. It's impossible.

But you should always try to be an understanding person to broaden your horizons/points of view and to avoid being unfair to someone.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Nope, not even 10 percent. If a person seems to be always politically correct in their opinions then they're probably a good liar.



Not as long as SJWs roam the Earth, because they will always find someone or something to be offended over.
