Should we ban things if it weren't "politically correct?"/Are people who are for PC being too radical?/Are people who are for PC using PC as a tool to criticize what they didn't like?

  When people who uses political correctness as a weapon to criticizing talk, they don’t want to talk with you, but they want to talk "at" you. You’re supposed to shut up, listen and believe because they think that their belief is the only right theory in the world and everything else is "politically incorrect". If talking with one SWJ, we can handle that. However if there's many of them and criticizing ones work, what we should do is resist and voice your community whether if you are offended or not. 

 We have to resist and shout out to tell that what they are doing is wrong. We have to protect our work from those who are trying to destroy them.

    It's not at all clear from your summaries if the opinions are yours or those of the sources you cite. You need to be clear about that, especially in academic writing. You can use expressions such as "according to Kay (2019), political correctness is often used to...", for example. Or you can say "Boghossian & Lindsay (2019) make a good point when they say that..." Otherwise, nobody will know who believes what and which of the points you're in agreement with.

    Also, it's best to avoid using abbreviations such as SWJ in this context because most people won't know that you're talking about "social justice warriors." Using the abbreviation appears to be used mainly by those critical of individuals they put that label on. I guess it might be in reference to people like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Black Lives Matter activists. My guess is that the abbreviation is always used pejoratively.

When did the meaning of PC changed?

 The term "Political Correctness" appeared in a U.S. Supreme Court decision about the boundaries of federal jurisdiction in 1793. It has been used to describe what is politically wise, and it has been employed as ironic self-mockery.   However, leftists in the 1970s and 1980s used the term as self-critical, ironic satire. It used as a joke among leftists.  Later, the term was started to be used as a criticism of New Left modern in the late 20th century and popularized by a number of articles in The New York Times and other media.

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?

 Social Justice Warriors, aka SJWs, use political correctness as a weapon to criticize what they think is "politically incorrect". Social justice warrior (SJW) is a term used for an individual who promotes socially progressive and liberal views, including feminism, civil rights, gay and transgender rights. Most of the time, saying somebody is a SJW means that they are pursuing his/her personal validation rather than the actual "liberal" way of thinking.  So basically, it is not the political correctness itself that are being criticized but the SWJs, people who are using it as a weapon are instead.

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. Of course the diversity in gaming is a good thing, but not everything is good.  A good example is Witcher 3 incident. The game was criticized because all the character in the game was white. However, the Witcher 3 is set in Poland, created by Polish man and it is based on Polish mythology and European Folklore. So criticizing that there is no Black or Asian character in Witcher is an mistake because that is the culture and the demographic in the game. You don't have to put colored skinned character in the game if it doesn't make sense. Putting race and sexism into eve...
