Who decides what political correctness is?

Question

I think it has gone too far but who chooses what is and what is not PC

Answer 1

Hey!

I wish i knew because i'd love to meet them and ask them if they're aware that they're making everyone's life hellish nowadays. I reckon that whoever they are ... They're wanna be do gooders with too much time on their hands and what's worse ... Without a clue as to what the rest of us think!

Answer 2

Generally the people in power, quite specifically, the Attorney General. My only problem with this is that he might have a drastically different view on morality and offensiveness than I do. For example, Suicide Girls is under attack because some of the spreads have bondage in them. Our lovely AG decided that that was obscene and offensive because it showed those images of bondage. If you are that offended by someones idea of art, then by all means, but why is it alright to show millions of people the most extreme image of bondage (or at least I think it is) every Sunday? The image of Jesus is much more disturbing than anything I've found easily accessible on the Internet or television, yet it has received no attack while the others are under constant fire. Ultimately, I think it has only to do with what a small group of people thinks instead of what the populous chooses as correct...although, even that has its clear problems...perhaps it's more of what you can get away with than anything else. Most kids go around saying that things are "gay," but they get away with it most times with no recourse...I suppose I will just never get it.

'In my opinion political correctness is a term that was invented by it's enemies. You never hear anyone using the term in a positive light, eg"ooo you can't do that these days theres too much political correctness" or "that's just political correctness gone mad"

Political correctness isn't all bad,but a lot of people who adhere to
it seem to be incapable of original thought.Maybe that's the attraction.

Answer 5

A bunch of anal retentive assholes, who wear grey flannel suits, bowler hats and earn more than most of us could dream of, whilst doing it. It being, making life stink more than it possibly could, even if the Liberals took over the running of the country.

Answer 6

Society decides for itself but is guided or misguided by politicians and religious leaders as to what is or is not PC!

Answer 7

The liberal media has taken it on themselves to force feed their beliefs on the people. Then the liberal courts look at this and if the moral people don't oppose it they make it law.
The only ones that have "FREE SPEECH" is the media.

Answer 8

mostly people (and media like daily mail) who want to divert attention from their own unacceptable behavoir - which is usually being to lazy or to afraid to try & understand and respect other people or the planet.
