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.

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.

Why are some people thinks being "politically correct" is a good thing to do?/Why are some people against PC?

 　Being "politically correct" is not a bad thing at all. We all want to live in a good society, with less racism and less sexism. So trying to figure out how to make a good society and being "politically correct" in a correct way is not a problem. The problem is the people who are weaponizing PC to say what they think is right and denying other people the right to free speech just because they were, in their words, "politically incorrect".  Most people who dislike political correctness, it’s mostly because they will become unable to act and behave as they want when they associate with political correctness.  What’s the deal with political correctness?

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.
