Instead of being the brave rebel fighting the PC police who want to control your thoughts (ooooooooh scaaaaaary!!!) maybe you're being the guy who might step back and reevaluate his actions.

Thank you for just existing, TheBoost.

It's no coincidence that the word "polite" and the word "political" (as in PC) share the same root. Yes, politeness is technically a form of self-censorship, and attempts to enforce politeness are a form of censorship. But almost all social environments work better when people are polite and respectful most of the time. I'm GLAD I work in an environment where I could get fired for telling my co-workers they were worthless pieces of shit, because, you see, it works in reverse and everyone benefits.

I get it, really I do. When I was a kid I was filled with outrage that my mom wouldn't let me talk about vomit at the dinner table. It WAS censorship. But there are degrees and moderation in everything. The "PC" boogeyman certainly has the capacity to step over the line into real harmful censorship, but I find that it happens far less frequently than people step over the line of just being rude for no constructive purpose.
