I get your points, but I disagree on this one. How people adapt to be perceived by others on the surface - I couldn't care less about that. When they are rotten deep inside, broken and shattered to pieces - no matter how many correctness masks they put on, they are still same piece of s__t. I'll rather know straight upfront who I am dealing with, life is much easier.

So yeah, PC is evil for me. Noble goals for sure, worst possible implementation how to get there.

Well I don't want to sound more cynical than the OP, but the surface is actually what matters in the broader social context. Without shame, human society would be a violent anarchy. Some people have relatively good natures, but many do not. That is not even a criticism. After all, one cannot be ashamed of nature - only of the inability to control it.

Absence of shame is like power: it corrupts.

So whatever we call PC, we need something like it. That is my view.
