        No one who complains that they “can’t say ... things ... anymore” is prevented from saying anything. What they mean is, now, if they say those things, they are perceived as the kind of people who say those things. What they object to is simply personal accountability.

        The real objection isn’t that there are suddenly so many things they can’t say. The real objection is there are suddenly so many things that other people CAN say. Things like, “what do you mean by that?” and “here’s why those words demean and hurt me.”

        “There are things we can’t say anymore” is a phrase intended the skirt accountability. Poll the exact things. Ask those questions. “What things?” Let’s see the demographics of Americans mad they can’t say n***** any more. Or f**. And a hush fills the punditry.

        The fact that polling doesn’t ask those specific questions, but it does employ accountability-evading terms like “political correctness” tells you a lot about the poll’s complicity in the dodge. As do the articles analyzing the poll.

        Why do we only see “Poll Offers Stark Warning to Democrats for Identity Politics in 2020” and not “Poll Shows White People Still Love Slurs?” Both require the same amount of analysis. Both bring a worldview to data. Thus can you detect the worldview of seemingly neutral parties

        What happens then is that the person who made the hurtful comment misses yet another chance to learn and grow, and remains the less thoughtful person they’ve now chosen to be.

        Telling someone “that hurts and demeans me” isn’t forcing them to do anything. Nor does it represent intolerance—a badly misunderstood concept. You’re asking the right questions, but you’re not seeking the answers.https://twitter.com/gmbuckeye/status/1075751971959783424?s=21 …

        Why isn’t it on the person offended to learn and grow? Aren’t tolerance and acceptance important values for everyone? Who is the final arbiter of “wrong”? Isn’t forcing someone to express themselves in a way that is unnatural to them an infringement on who they are?

        I disagree, I believe it absolutely represents intolerance. There really is no other way to see it. Words and expressions are only appropriate if they meet the subjective test of an apparent minority of ppl.

        This doesn’t describe censorship, it describes criticism. You’re free to make “you’re overreacting” your instinctive reaction to hurting or demeaning someone, but you’ll probably be criticized both for what you said and your indifference. This is grade-school stuff.pic.twitter.com/HtzYkRL44S

        Politically correct driven comedy routines are about half (or more) as funny than routines that don't follow suit. It's painfully obvious to watch a comedian who is trying not to step on a verbal land mine to "please" his audience.

        Someone in my mentions straight up said that he no longer felt he could say “niggardly” or “sniggering,” the British variant on the word “snickering,” or the traditional use of “gay” meaning “happy.” Very tough times i guess if you are President James K Polk or something.

        Would-be edgelords: the reason you have faced so little criticism in the past is because so many people justifiably fear for their physical safety when they commit the crime of speaking their minds. You’re not being silenced. And now, finally, neither are they.

        Black people have had to walk on eggshells. Gay people. Trans people. Women. They have had to be careful what they said. There is language designed—sometimes aggressively, usually subtlety—to tell them they don’t belong and should fear for their safety. That is true silencing.

        I think there is a dominant cultural narrative says you can believe anything you want about people, support any kind of policy to enforce against them, and you’re still above reproach, as long as you’re superficially nice. And this superficial civility is seen as tolerance.

        If you’re committed to such a dominant cultural narrative, then criticism is to be greatly feared. But if you assume you are not above reproach, then reproach holds no terror. You have free yourself from criticism’s fearfulness. in other words: if you bump someone, apologize.

        Just apologize. Apologize and adjust. And if your very identity involves bumping people and never apologizing, you might want to look into that. What other, greater harms might you have interwoven into your identity?
