Are there any connections between PC and feminism or other controversial issues?

Political correctness is used to criticize language that seems intended to give the least amount of offense when describing groups identified by external markers such as race, gender, culture, or sexual orientation. So these words are deeply involved with PC.

Which is important; quality or diversity?/Is being historically accurate offensive to some people?/Is putting race and sexism into every discussion, media and art is "politically correct"?

In my personal opinion, both of them are very important. Recently, the video game industry has become more diverse than ever. Not only the women's social progress, people from all over the country has been supporting video game industry. Games that has many characters such as Apex Legends and Overwatch, all of them are from different country, has different sex, religions and it is very diverse.

Why is PC being criticized?/What is "Social Justice Warrior" aka "SJW"?/ Why is "SJW" being criticized?/Is certain people becoming too aggressive trying to push and conform people to their ideology?
