Is political correctness stifling debate?

[Noidenous]

That’s the ultimate irony of all of this.

Those screaming for diversity, pushing an agenda which will ultimately serve to eradicate it.

Could you please not use so many words?

The sensory overload triggers my anxiety, comrade.

Stifled.

Redundant.

Redundant.

Either that or rigidly enforcing thought.

Either that or rigidly enforcing thought.

No, it's redundant.

The rigidly enforcing thought comes from your entire body of work, colluding with those who have power over this domain.

So it the left redundant, or an oppressive force enforcing thought via employment, the media and education?

Your repeated submission of 'stifled' was redundant.

Looks like they're so intent on stifling, they can't help but stifle eachother.

This is what happens when self-entitled morons try to politic.

Have to say there's a part of me that find that just desserts, but it's the same reactionary bullshit that feeds this cancel culture and victim culture. Fancy a comic doing something edgy for laughs...

A bunch of 70 campaigners force a comedian off the bill of the Melbourne Fringe Festival because they are dismayed, alarmed, concerned and disturbed about a performance they haven't seen. Now no one gets to see it.

Melbourne Fringe performer withdraws amid 'yellowface' accusations

'I never envisaged this would cause distress,' says Melbourne comedian Kate Hanley Corley.

According to their website the Festival

champions cultural democracy – art for anyone. We celebrate freedom of artistic expression, we take voices from the margins and amplify them across the city. Fringe embraces risk through our uncurated festival which supports anyone to participate.​

​

We work year round as educators, promoters, and creators. We are supporters, we are challengers, we rock the boat and we question the status quo.​

​

Our participants and our audiences are at the heart of what we do. They are the risk-takers and the art-makers. They are creative, they are bold, they are diverse.​

There's no cultural democracy. There's no risk taking. No rocking the rocking the boat or status quo being questioned. There's diversity as long as it's the right kind of diversity. In short it's not a Fringe Festival at all - it’s a PC Festival.

[JW Frogen]

Yes, yes PC is damaging both debate and the basic DNA of humanity.

Turning us into a bunch of half witted sea slugs munching on slogans at the bottom of the sea lanes and not thinking at all.

Wowee... 2 direct quotes from that:
"No, because we live in a democracy"
"It's not 'majority rule'"

David Jones' profit halved because department stores are going the way of the dinosaur, not because women sit on it's board.
