  1. When you refer to being for or against political correctness in your research questions it's unclear whether you mean for or against the labeling of things as politically correct, or for or against things believed to be "politically correct."

    Also, your second question is "When did the meaning of PC change?" This assumes that it has changed? So, a more fundamental question might be "Has the meaning of PC changed and, if so, how did it change and when did that change take place?

    Your question "Which is more important, quality or diversity?" has the underlying assumption that one is more important than the other. Both can be important without necessarily being on a gradient of importance.

    Question 25 seems to suggest that race and gender is put into every discussion of art or media. You'll need to be careful when answering questions like this not to "cherry pick" the examples that back it up.

    Question 29 is interesting but the question is "from whose perspective"?

Any examples of people who are for/against PC?

  Since this blog will mainly be about PC in subcultures, the most famous PC person has to be Anita Sarkeesian. She is a Canadian-American feminist media critic and public speaker. She made a video series examining gender tropes in video games using crowdfunding. Sarkeesian was targeted by an online harassment campaign after the launch of a Kickstarter project to fund the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series.   Also another famous person who are for PC in the gaming society is Neil Druckmann, the director of "The Last of Us part 2". He was also criticized by many gamers since he cited Anita as an influence.   On the other hand, Youtuber "The Act Man" posted few videos criticizing PC and SWJ in video games.
