i hate the term ‘politically correct’. i hate that encouraging human compassion, empathy, and basic decency as a society-wide expectation has been reduced to simple ‘political correctness’, like it’s a chore to be undertaken, like not being a bigot is such an inconvenience. no offence, but fuck anyone that uses that term unironically, especially those who criticise it. truly, fuck you

it’s because when you talk about ‘ethics’, ‘morality’ or even ‘compassion and empathy’ people will ridicule you for how you can be so naive to ask from people to act decently

that’s actually a form of tone-policing. They oppress people by forcing them to use the words THEY designated as acceptable
