P.Cor poltical correctness is a philosphy started by Social Justice Warriors that advocates for not saying certain things because they might be seen mean to groups seen as oppressed. It’s adherents (A large enough portion of society to effect it) think they’re being nice but in reality, they are preventing important truths from being told and killing every form of enterntainment it manifests onto (Which is most Hollywood Entertainment). When you break their speech codes they get triggered, try to make your life a living hell and get you fired and/or de-platformed. Two very good examples of this philosophy in action are on South Park when P.C Principal beats up Eric Cartman for calling Jared Fogle a spokesman instead of a spokesperson (below) and James Damore getting fired from Google because he said there are differences between men and women.
Political Correctness is cancer.

The dumb theory that colleges teaches you that states that all views (or points of views) are equally valid. Pretty much this means that all standpoints, opinions and such are all valid. Pretty much the views of a racist, a neo-Nazi and the such are all just as valid as someone else. But, it isn't hard to take down these people that expresses this theory by just saying:
"Is it true that there's no such thing as truth?"
"Is it true that there's no such thing as truth?"
Political correctness is a very dumb theory that many colleges teach you in order to dumb you down and lower your IQ.

Acting with a degree of civility towards your fellow human beings; regarded as tyrannical suppression of free speech by conservatives who cannot bear to be respectful and considerate of women and minorities. Ironically, the term is wielded by hypersensitive right-wingers to smear and silence viewpoints that deviate even slightly from far-right ideology.
The term has become a convenient scapegoat for politicians to evade responsibility for their own failed policies and safeguard the status quo. By directing the people's anger away from the real sources of their problems and towards "political correctness", politicians successfully preclude genuine political discourse and actual problem-solving.

Citizen: Our for-profit health care system has left millions without health insurance and drives hundreds of thousands to bankruptcy every year. Why don't we expand Medicare so everyone can receive decent and affordable coverage?

Can be considered pejorative. noun, A term used earliest by American conservatives to neutralize discussions on prejudice in the United States. Used to imply political rights are being taken away from the speaker by the target. Target is implied to be an authoritarian no matter whether or not any actual rights are abridged, thusly most occurrences of the term are used in straw man arguments.
