'pc' is invariably shorthand for 'im gonna get self righteous about my right to be an asshole'

I don't follow. Are you trying to insult me?

it wasn't aimed at you but it's nearly always directly transcribable that way. i have a grudge against the term 'pc' -- i understand that it typically refers to an archetype of a ~hyper-offensible liberal that lives in seattle~ or something but it's nearly always invoked against people who have genuine reason to have grievances with the language and implications used. i won't go into detail because it frankly doesn't matter, but that is the case here with me.

Is there a preferred shorthand?
