PC culture, aka let's make it a political issue of if I should be held accountable for hateful or oppressive behavior. There is no way I could be problematic, so don't dare try to educate me.

/s

it is 90% fueled and empowered by people who are outraged about it

nobody knew or cared what a SJW was until millions of angry white dudes on the internet starting bitching and crying about them all the time

To answer the actual question, by and large, political correctness just boils down to finding new ways to be nice/avoid being mean to people. Conceptually, that's a good thing. In practice, sometimes people can be too aggressive about it, getting upset at people that really can't have been expected to have considered those new ways for failing to adhere to them. It's also not uncommon to try to push forward with new ideas without considering how reasonable, practical, or beneficial they actually are (often without doing anything to consult the people it's supposed to be benefiting and falling into White Saviour territory).

On the flip side, though, that's very much not true of every such idea, and people raging against the mere concept of manners evolving are being extremely unreasonable. More often than not, "I hate PC culture" actually just means "I want to be able to act like an asshole without being treated like an asshole," and that's just not a sensible position at all. Like everything, moderation is key, but pretty much everyone does it wrong by glomping onto an extreme and yelling at the people glomping onto the other extreme.

Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners. And countless PC tenets are deeply racist and/or problematic

I don't even give it credit of being well-intended idiocy, because at the end of the day most of them are just self-important assholes, many of whom profit from making society worse and actively work to prevent real equality because it would mean they'd have to find a new scam. They're the Helen Lovejoys of the world, people who often don't even believe in what they preach but use it to carve a niche for themselves.

Want to know the secret to building unity? It's not promoting differences to divide us where you have to think about what you say because some cis-het Caucasian tells you *might* offend a minority group, it's seeing EVERYBODY as being no different from one another.

While I wasn't much of a Carlin fan, even you have to admit he was pretty on the nose with that one. After all, it's a movement aiming to police speech and even thought.

If you vote anything other than the first option then youre part of the problem

I don't care if you call me a bigot but Pc is superior to consoles

Political Correctness - for when you can't argue with what was said, argue with how they said it.

Political Correctness is related to the ad hominem fallacy. Instead of addressing the content of what was said Political Correctness is used to attack the person saying it. This attack relies on some imagined slight which was never a criteria previously, nor had it been agreed to. This may also be something that the accuser has done themselves at one time.

I mean we can use controllers or mouse+keyboard. What's not to love

...

other than the pricetag of graphics cards

I just want everyone to be treated equally. Actually, those with good personalities should be treated well, and those with bad personalities should be punished or gone. Sorry, but I take personality and justice served very seriously.
