Who actually uses "Political Correctness"?

I find it a bit disturbing that you agree with me on anything I said when I really haven't stayed in opinion one way or another. I don't oppose PC culture. In fact I engage in it myself when I'm at work.

I'd struggle to come up with a precise definition. I wouldn't call engaging in politics virtue signaling. I would think that engaging in politics would be more about the fact that you care about society and what happens to it then about signaling that you are virtuous.

I addressed those assertions in post 8.  Here is what I said.

I think this is a problem with both sides of the political debate. Liberals think that concern for religious rights is code for homophobia and conservatives think that things like voter ID being gotten rid of is code for liberals wanting to steal elections by having illegal aliens vote. 

I would consider actually addressing your opponent's arguments instead of avoiding them by falsely assuming some malevolent intentions. 

People are not adopting entire religions as a mask for what you term homophobia. Occam's razor suggests that religion is why people take on views you consider homophobic, and not as you assert, that they are homophobic and oppose gay marriage, so they pretend to be religious to justify that opposition. 

You also seem to be conflating euphemisms with dog whistles and both with political correctness.

That is off topic. This is about political correctness. Whether religious freedom means some group gets to act homophobic or not is unrelated to whether they are being PC.

I should point out those aren't my arguments. I don't find anything wrong with decorum I understand it. I would say the difference between virtue signaling and being politically correct it would be the intent of the person doing it. Virtue singling would be like celebrities who wear red bracelets in support of AIDS. They do so only to get attention and look like they're good people. While being politically correct would have more to do with trying to say something in a way that doesn't offend most people's sensabilities and make them automatically reject the idea without considering it.

Here is an example of political correctness, which is not the exact same as uephemisms or dog whistles.

Person not PC "fruits should not be allowed to marry"

PC person "home sexual marriage should be discouraged and replaced with a similar institution as marriage"

What is this? Political correctness is not about what is being said. It is how you say it. There 3 reasons people oppose it.

1. It is just a form of virtue signaling
2. It is dishonest in nature.
3. It is a slap in the face to the lower classes who speak more plainly.

Political correctness is usually done by the left more because the right is more likely to have populist leaders, but it is an apolitical concept.

I need a picture of Spartacus for my profile picture that meets the required dimensions. I tried 5 pictures and all were the wrong size. Can somebody find me a picture of Spartacus from season One of the Stars series?
