One weakness is that users can gang on politically incorrect comments or threads and flag them.

Last I've seen this was a thread about the professor which was claiming that women aren't disadvantaged in physics. It was a totally harmless thing, about how a journal decided to publish his views.

ime, what is called “political correctness” is often interpreted as “respecting others” by different people.

You can disagree with what expectations they have for interpersonal respect, but I think that’s how the other side sees it.

Downvoting without offering counterargument is disrespectful and counter productive.
