How should we deal with PC?

  Jonathan Kay said there are three solutions to the extreme political correction; try not to medicalize it, try to resist, and voice your community.

 Trying not to assign psychic pain or discomfort to people who disagrees to you. Maybe he was just trying to say different opinions and didn't mean to hurt you. Try to examine it before accusing someone.

 Resisting to political correctness is important, but sometimes you need to keep your position in the group you are in. If so, you have to submit to politically correct regimes. However, try to destroy the premise of the person who tries to shut you up using PC.

 Voicing the community, regardless of whether you are offended or not is the most important of all. If you see something is criticized, being said that it is racist, and you thought it was not, say it out loud. We have to protect our market place of ideas from the social justice warriors. 


 Lauren Graham insist that these days who are "politically correct" are being Schadenfreude, a German word meaning glee at the suffering of others. She said "People are best when guided not attacked." "Keep kindness and empathy at the front of your mind."

 Being the example of political correctness was meant to be is what we need to work on.

    By reading this post, I think that the way to solve the extreme political correction is very important and is very useful not only for political correctness, but also for human relationships. Especially, the first one “trying not to assign physic pain or discomfort to people who disagrees to you” can be said beyond the field of political correctness. I also think that words can hurt people easily so we have to care about how to say before we say something. Although it is very difficult to realize completely, I hope the world people care each other will come true.

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.
