Political correctness comes with a funny little phenomenon in a form of constant [bullshit](bullshit.md) cycle of **banning old words that gained negative connotation and forcing newly invented clean-slate words** -- in the past when official medical terms such as *idiot*, *imbecile*, *moron*, *cretin* and *mongoloid* started to be seen as "offensive", a new, politically correct term *mental retardation* was invented to replace them -- of course, the term *retardation* later became seen as offensive too so they had to invent new terms, one of the newest ones seem to be *neurodivergency* -- this term will itself become highly offensive in about 10 to 20 years. At that time it will be extremely funny to browse the web archive and seeing people proudly proclaiming they are "neurodivergent" when at the time it will be seen as if they nowadays proclaimed they are a retarded idiot :D The term [autism](autism.md) currently seems to be going through the transition from politically correct to "offensive", the Internet already made the word "autistic" largely synonymous to "stupid". Giving in to these trends is not just harmful by giving approval to the idea of language control, it's also just plain stupid, just as following any kind of [fashion](fashion.md).
Yet another harmfulness of political correctness is by making people too focused on shallow words instead of focusing on real issues. It's not just the harsh punishments for saying certain banned words, even if they wouldn't do much actual damage, it is also the opposite -- inventing new words and offering them as "solutions" to issues. For example it's completely absurd how some very old people who have been outsiders for their whole lives because they're simply weird, shy, too stupid or smart, are suddenly offered a supposed comfort by being told: "you're not weird, you're just neurodivergent!" The guy is like "OH MY GOD, my whole life I have suffered, I thought I was just not good with people, but in fact I was just neurodivergent my whole life -- if only I knew back then!". The amount of stupidity is incredible.
Latest trend on social media seems to be the **pseudo political incorrectness**, i.e. pretending to be politically incorrect by just using for example rude words, which of course aren't politically incorrect by themselves, for the sake of improving one's image. It goes along the lines of "IN TIMES OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, this SUPER HERO CELEBRITY IS A COOL NONCONFORMING REBEL who is not afraid of saying the word *fuck* in a youtube video". Of course this is retarded as fuck, political incorrectness isn't at all about being rude, it is only about opposing the gospel of pseudoleftists, you may be politically incorrect without being rude simply by saying "white women are less intelligent than white men but more intelligent than black men", and you may be rude without being politically incorrect, e.g. by saying "we should murder this white guy because he is white so fuck him".
