Forum:Political correctness- Bad article

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I am completely and totally opposed to Political Correctness and I am liberal. I am also gay and I feel like PC empowers homophobes and makes them more motivated to hate. If we abolished PC, we could have open discussions and thus progress as a society. The article demonizes people who are opposed to PC and doesn't state that there are multiple reasons for opposing it.


I edited it to be more balanced and to show that many liberals are opposed to PC.

What's your reason exactly? You think that if we let people call people names they won't discriminate against them? Where's your sample set? I unedited it, because you are wrong. Hipocrite (talk) 19:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
I believe that if we make it so it's taboo to say certain things, we can't talk about things that need to be talked about. JohnnyH (talk) 19:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
I believe there is an Invisible Pink Unicorn stalking me and making my life worse. So what? Hipocrite (talk) 19:39, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Further, what "things," exactly, are taboo to say? Hipocrite (talk) 19:41, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Reverse discrimination, men being denied services from domestic violence shelters, oversexualization in the gay community, etc JohnnyH (talk) 19:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Also, "people first" language is another ridiculous example. I have Autism and I abhor the "people first" language thing. JohnnyH (talk) 19:46, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
So you are an autistic, gay, liberal men's rights activist? Perhaps you are lying a bit about some things, no? Perhaps you're just a 12 year old confused kid? Hipocrite (talk) 19:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm 18. I don't appreciate people accusing me of being a bigot because I am opposed to inhibiting discussion.
Political correctness doesn't equate to "inhibiting discussion" except in the minds of those who are actually bigots. What "discussion" is inhibited and where is such inhibition taking place? Be specific. Hipocrite (talk) 19:51, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
The discussion of anti-white racism among minority groups, male victims of domestic abuse being ignored and ridiculed JohnnyH (talk) 19:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Where is such inhibition taking place? Who is doing the inhibition? Perhaps most, like I, find 18 year old autistic cyberlibertarians-pretending-to-be-liberal tiresome, and realize that it's not worth our time to do to you what time does to all ignorant idealists. The fact of the matter is that there is no racism when there is no power, and male victims of domestic abuse are few and far between, and the fake MRA statistics you have committed to a text file are bullshit.

This apparently isn't racism according to you. And yeah, I'm Liberal. I voted for Obama. JohnnyH (talk) 19:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't watch youtube videos because someone wants me to. Summarize. PS: Voting for Obama doesn't make you liberal. I also don't believe you. Prove it. Hipocrite (talk) 20:00, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
The video is about a Black Panther demanding the extermination of white people. And I have no idea how to prove I voted for Obama and frankly I don't care if you believe me. JohnnyH (talk) 20:01, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
There can be no racism without power. Some guy on youtube has no power. Hipocrite (talk) 20:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


Rise to vote, sir[edit]

Vaporize this page due to not having anything of new value to discuss. There's no reason why any of this can't be discussed on the appropriate talk pages, even if it is all PRATT. --Seth Peck (talk) 19:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

This is my first day on this site. I thought the forum would be the best place to discuss it. JohnnyH (talk) 19:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

JohnnyH, anyone who seriously uses the anti-racist means anti-white schtick seriously needs to have their head examined, and then that person or those persons should be sent back to the 1st grade to learn how grammar is done. The phrase Anti means AGAINST when applied to any sense of the word, so anti-racist means against racism, not anti-white. No one's denying racism from anyone other than white folks, but if you seriously think the fact there are racist blacks, racist Latinos, and racist Arabs allows you yourself to be racist to defend such out-dated thinking, then you are a complete fucking moron. However given the general IQ of racists (who tend to be far right conservatives) have a lower IQ than those who accept other people be they conservative, liberal, or anything else, I doubt you even passed 1st grade english because how stupid you are to think being anti-racist means anti-white.NUTCASE71733 (talk) 05:53, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
