Political correctness
Seems each week we have a new post about one of these taboo words. Why?
Yeah you or someone you know may be a (insert random new bad word). Honestly though does it really matter?
We see these all the time.
Model - whore, skank, slut, or often stupid skanky slut etc.
Homosexual - fag, faggot, cocksucker, ass packer.
Over weight - fat, obese, lard ass, average webmaster (sorry couldnt resist)
Hispanic - spick, mexican, wetback.
Black - ******s, negro, neggar
Im sure you all have plenty more.
I am personally in a wheelchair, now I am personally fond of the word gimp. Primarly because it so easily offends people. Yet if I wanted to go PC I could not even keep up with what I am. I know it was handicapped but that was axed, then dissabled, then some nut job started calling us handicapable or upwardly mobile. What the fuck are those? Why not vertically challenged, opps uses challenged cant have that, it is after all why the stoped using physically challenged.
And if you can not say physically challenged because it uses challenged, then why should we call someone mentally challenged, isnt that hypocritical political correctness? By the way do they issue us memos when what we are has been renamed?
A word can only be as damaging as you allow it to be. Its a fucking word people. Get over your personal sensitivity.
