Political correctness?

[Omega]

Okay so is political correctness and the need to accept everything going a little to far?

I don't have a whole research report but I can remember things I heard and saw like>>>
In relation to transgenders

Trying to /talking about not having gender based bathrooms.
Why..just why do you think you have to do this? If you have male parts go in to the male bathroom, if you have female parts go into the female bathroom. If you're transgender get ready to make a decision that will shape your life. LOL, what exactly do you want people to do besides make a bathroom separate for transgender. Merging bathrooms or taking away the signs is just going to end up with so many problems. Is this really that big of a deal. Just go with what parts you have and go. (If you identify with a woman but still have male parts still go in male. There are people who will take advantage of such a situation to go into a girls bathroom....for real. LOL)

Changing toy labels
I forgot which store it was (maybe target) but some person was saying that the toy section was segregated and that the girl toys should be with the boy toys. Are these the rights we are fighting for now? Toy segregation? You used the word segregation.....like really? My littles sister never liked "girl" toys and would always get boy toys from Mcd's or a store. She is straight, wears dresses, dresses like most girls, and all that jazz but never was she disturbed by the fact girl toys were with boy toys. You are about to ask a store to restructure everything for no real good reason and the social media populace will just go "yeah that's a good idea. WE SHOULD ACCEPT EVERYONE!" Umm you're being accepted but honestly that just makes it really organized imo. Those toys have heavy female connotation and others have heavy male connotations but nothing is stopping you from getting either one. Putting them together is just a mess. LOL, like its not a big deal. Whats next...dresses aren't for girls???? Again no one is stopping you from buying what you buy. You're accepted now just go be happy instead of nitpicking at every little thing.

Transgender
Like the whole Kaitlyn Jenner thing rubbed me the wrong way. Not because that he was transgender and wanted to be a female, but how everyone was acting like he rescued 10,000 puppies out of a burning building. Was he brave in coming out? Yes, but a hero??? Then everyone felt like they had to say he was soooooo beautiful as a woman. He was even compared to Katy freakin Perry! WHATTTT! If we are judging him as a woman then NOOOOOO! Again, ppl feel like they have to be politically correct so they don't say anything.

Good for Kaitlyn Jenner but its no need to go overboard to make sure they are accepted. Also if you don't agree with something that doesn't make you a bad person. Comedians even strayed away from jokes about KJ cuz social media was killing people over him. I think Jamie Foxx had got in trouble for making a joke before the actual surgery. COMEDIANS JOKE ABOUT PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY CELEBS! TRUE ACCEPTANCE IS GETTING TREATED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! No free pass we can talk about you like we talk about everyone else.

I didn't read, but the ridiculous amount of attention butthurt people get is absurd, to the point that people are getting butthurt over literally nothing just for the media attention.

 

[Braveknight]

Why people are even bothering with him any more? usually when irrelevant stuff like that surface, this means there is something big going behind the scene and they are just throwing those to *turn our attention* from it.

and truly recently this site became soooo blue pilled and SJW infested i just check to see bleach forums then log out.

1. You can voice opinions and fight for minor and major issues. Just because there's shit like children starving, or people being stoned to death, doesn't mean you can't also talk about little things as well. "Hurr durr is this what you're fighting for now?" And? So what? If we're only allowed to focus on big issues, then I can keep naming issues bigger than the last and tell you to focus only on the biggest and don't change your focus until it's fixed. Ever. Meaning, don't even have conversations with people about the weather or the latest episode of Walking Dead. Only talk about whatever the biggest issue in the world is because, after all, are these small things what you're really talking about?

2. Uh, yeah, it's toy segregation.

seg·re·ga·tion
ˌseɡrəˈɡāSH(ə)n/
noun
the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart.

Segregation, despite the racial connotations, isn't just about racial issues. When you split your darks from lights when doing laundry, that's segregation. The application of the world is completely acceptable and correct. One of the keys to communication is taking out your own connotations when necessary. If I was talking to a Holocaust survivor and said "This OJ has 10% concentration" and he gets flashbacks to the Holocausts because concentration camps gave him a negative connotation to that word, am I in the wrong?

"She was never disturbed that girl toys were boy toys."
Well, there you go. Your own example shows nothing bad happens when boy toys and girl toys are put together, so what's the problem?

Target also made that decision on their own because it's what they believed were right. No one forced them to, and no one was boycotting Target because their toys were split based on gender. They made their own choice for that change. And it's hardly a big change. In those stores, the girls and boys section just meld together. It's not like one is one side of the store, and the other on the other. It's hardly a huge restructuring. And why are you complaining if they have to restructure? That's not even a problem. It's someone's job to handle things like that. That's literally what someone gets paid to do.

3. A hero is anyone who can inspire change or solace in others. There are people who struggle with being transsexual and transgender. Kaitlyn is considered a hero simply because she can be a living example to these people that their existence is okay. Sure, she's not a hero like a firefighter or police officer is, but no one is claiming that. She's a hero simply because she has the ability to inspire, which is all you need to be a hero. Why do you think people call people they look up to greatly their heroes? You're taking it out of context just make it a bigger problem than it is. It ain't that deep. The fact that even bothered you is baffling. Like, did your life get worse because of it? Did the world stop spinning or get significantly worse?

F**K crackers, NI**ERs, spics, kikes, gringos, chinks, spooks, beaners, sand NI**ERSs, coons, dikes, F*GSs,trannies,. There take that political correvtness! There just words people get the heck over it!

 

[Dark Sonic]

People like Jenner want attention. Just some cringe-worthy individuals trying to make a point with trivial nonsense.

OT: Is Toy segregation a thing? How is that even...

@OP I liked your post and felt where you were coming from but I can't lie I was more or less (definitely less) thinking the same thing as this post

Political Correctness gets taken too far because everyone takes everything too far nowadays. It's like the guy that's always offended that "everyone is offended by everything".

Personally none of this stuff really matters. I get both sides.

Bathrooms
I can see how it can be uncomfortable having someone of the opposite *** in the same bathroom. Pervs and all that. But people can sneak in bathrooms unnoticed and hide in stalls if they really want to already. And for someone like me who honestly never knows who's in the bathroom with them (or what body parts they have for that matter) because they just go do their business and dip, I don't really give a damn. But like I said I can understand if you do.

Toy Segregation?
Again, I get it. It's always been a "boy toy" and "girl toy" aisle. Definitely not that big of a deal to change. But is it really that big of a deal to keep? You said they would have to "restructure everything".....uhhh I haven't bought toys in awhile but I'm sure the toy section is still in one place. Move a few toys around and you're done. Stores typically change their aisles around at least a few times out the year when they get their new planograms, so it's really not that much of a inconvenience. And like Riker said, it's a job that someone gets paid to do. With the way our economy is losing lower-skilled jobs despite increasing in lower-skilled workers....yea man it's just not big of a deal either way

Bruce/Kaitlyn
Once again, I feel you. He/She ain't my type of "hero" either. But transgenders do get targeted for being transgender. Not saying they're being mass annihilated or anything, just saying like Riker said he/she is a hero to someone. And judging by the way so many people are so offended that Bruce/Kaitlyn is getting so much attention, I'd say the fact that he/she gets more attention than I personally think he/she should balances out. Hell the only time I ever hear about him/her is when someone is complaining about him/her now. So I mean hey, whatever floats your boat, doesn't have to float mine. That's how I look at it.

I'm just saying man. At the end of the day life is what you make. You make it a problem? Well.....

Segregation is just splitting things off from other things.

Definitely not that big of a deal to change. But is it really that big of a deal to keep?

This is actually something I figured out a while ago, and I've tried to stick to it since. "If something is so small that isn't worth doing, then it's small enough to just knock out of the way."

Kinda the same concept. If a change is so small that you go "What? Why'd you make it?" then it's small enough that it being made in the first place doesn't matter much, so complaining about it is useless.

NO the point is people are *****in about things that don't really even matter. A store does not have to restructure how they do things for no real good reason. It shouldn't offend anyone that girl toys are separate from boy toys like "dark laundry is separate from white" you gave a definition so what bruh? They are using segregation in a negative light. I segregate my math notes from my English notes. Yea I just used segregation, but no one is fighting for math note rights. No one is fighting to mix red clothes with white clothes because they are "segregated" because no one uses segregation in that literal sense. People acted like a horrendous crime was committed. Political correctness is going overboard. These were examples bruh. Read the title POLITICAL CORRECTNESS...its not talking about what is important or what is petty I'm talking about overall POLITCAL CORRECTNESS!

People are looking for every little thing to ***** about to say "you don't accept me" I can even talk about PARTICIPATION TROPHIES! Its about political correctness not Wiki or Merriam Webster definitions. You can fight for petty shit but it doesn't make it less petty does it? xD Point of my thread is political correctness is going overboard BECAUSE people are fighting for petty shit and stepping on egg shells to "accept" people who are already "accepted" its not even just transgender but overall political correctness is annoying af. No you cant go around saying everything you want but now everyone is soooooooo sensitive. Like are you really that distraught about GIRL BOY TOYS to make it a SOCIAL ISSUE!

I never said no one has the right to argue about whatever they want to but these are examples. Instead of like "Kaitlyn can be hero so what" I was merely illustrating how the media went out of there way to make the populace believe he was hero because he was trans and that no one could touch o say anything negative about him.

NOTE THIS IS NOT A TRANSGENDER THREAD! THIS IS A POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THREAD. Transgender just happened to be my topic. Political correctness always has my shaking my head. Like the immigration problem in the U.S I live in Texas and immigration is a problem. No I don't want to go deporting everybody, but when you try to address the problem everyone is like "YOU HATE MEXICANS!...uhhh...no...I just want more documented citizens maybe?

I pretty much agree with this. But would like to add slmething about "toy segergation". The problem with toys being seperated by gender is that you have kids who want to play with toys that are being labled as girl toys and girls that want to play with toys that are boy toys. They are usually turned down by their prents because they toys were in the opposite section or whatever. This basically sets up gender roles and gender expectations about how to properly do gender. If the toys were not segregated by whatever gender people place om them, then perhaps children will be able to be themselves a little more than they are now.
