So, what would be your definition of political correctness then?

I think it can be definitively said that the world does not need another Adam Sandler movie. Ever. If we ever get a hankering to watch him in something, for some reason, we'll always have Billy Madison.
"Society has advanced to the point where I can no longer just use the fact that someone is gay as an instant punchline, and the whole joke! I'm being oppressed!"
That's because "political correctness" isn't even an actual thing. It's something that people who say bigoted shit whine about when called out on their bigotry.
It's so weird to me that that's the song everyone remembers as the "Tetris song". I grew up with the NES version (never had a Game Boy) so the Nutcracker theme will always be the "Tetris song" to me. Was that version really more popular?
What are Mario's favorite kind of pants?
The whole second half of Bat Out of Hell II begs to differ.
There was a Youtube video a while back of the New Caprica rescue scene from BSG with this as background music. It was epic.
Maybe there is (I don't know for sure), but that kind of sounds to me like the argument that some Black people use the N-word in conversation with each other. Sure, some do, but that doesn't mean non-Blacks should say it.
And make them all wear huge fake noses. That's the approximate equivalent of making them wear bronzer, right?
Heh OK. I still haven't listened to much rap, though the rap I do seek out tends to be of the socially conscious variety, but I honestly just wasn't impressed by his wordplay or skills as a rapper, and musically, to me, it didn't sound much different from cookie-cutter mainstream rap. Again, I am FAR from an expert on…
To be fair, I'm a white guy who's been trying to make an effort in the last few years to get over my former dismissal of rap (which I firmly believe, now, is at least unconsciously racist on some level, 100% of the time), and I LOVE Talib Kweli, but I think Kendrick Lamar sucks. I'm not sure exactly what that means in…
Agreed 100%. Joan Rivers was vile.
Yeahhhh, I'm not so much a fan of Amy Schumer. I've watched a good amount of her comedy now and I don't think it's as "progressive" as people say it is. She's super feminist, but very racially insensitive. The thing that finally turned me off her, though, was her skit about nurses. I've worked next to nurses for…
Calling The Ridiculous Six “pro-Indian,”
On one hand you're totally right. Just an accusation, right or wrong, is an instant life-ruiner, and I have a problem with that. On the other hand, if he is guilty, fuck him just the same.
I actually hate how the word "satire" has now been dumbed down to mean basically anything that has jokes. Satire is a specific type of humor. It's a type of parody that skewers the dominant forces in the society of its time and place, whether they be politicians, other powerful people in society, or just the general…
Well then, she probably hit on some self-aware truth there.
Well, we've established that you, like so many Internet denizens, can't have a disagreement over a piece of media without personally insulting the person you disagree with, as if their attack on your beloved media was an attack on YOU. You are obviously very, very personally invested in people liking the New Yorker,…
Actually, you've just perfectly summed up why I, in what might be an unorthodox viewpoint for a far-left liberal, DON'T want prostitution legalized. It's not because of the usual puritanical objections, it's because I believe that sex with another person is not a God-given right, and prostitution is mostly a shortcut…
