Some people don't understand the difference between political correctness and social correctness. One pertains to institutional organisations and situations, one is completely about context.

Two different situations that should have different consequences, just the internet has blurred those lines a bit in both positively and negatively.

Personally I believe any dumb system, one lacking nuance or complexity is completely below us as a diversely social species. Simple answers are for simple situations. This isn't a simple situation, it's an intricate one.

So saying 'this is always bad' is stupid. Saying 'this is always okay' is stupid. Not to hate on Americans but you see 'Freedom of speech' hinder you as much as it helps. These sort of systems are easily exploited.

Some people will always try to take control of any situation and bend it to their will. Some see the internet as having to adhere to their standards. Some see it as free of any standard. We have power over what we say. People lack power over how they react to what we say. Should that mean we should give up that power or those people should lose their right to be offended? Logically, neither. Which proves there's no easy answer.

But there's people who think it's very black and white. Only when it spills into a means of control over other people does it become a fundamentally bad thing, so after you've drawn the line past the point of whats reasonable to expect of flawed beings it becomes hypocritical. They become the aggressors and the oppressors. And I think we're close to living in that time. The only certain thing is, it wont last, but it'll make the world a little bit more sucky in the mean time.
