An uninformative opinion piece is not news, even if I agree with it.

I agree - and disagree. This is not news, and I wish PC was peaking - but if anything it seems to be growing.

Increasingly, Social Justice Warriors seem to win only on the turf they already control. And so they’ve begun to turn to the behavior best calculated to end their cultural dominance, behavior that makes even their fellow liberals miserable. Liberal comedians won’t perform on college campuses, liberals disrupt liberal campaign events, liberals insult movies by liberal directors for failing to comply with impossible-to-meet liberal gender standards, and liberal professors now live in fear of their liberal students.

This is the key point of the article for me. SJW's bully those that can be bullied. Eventually those people learn there is absolutely no winning. These people are professional victims and make it their business to be offended and complain. You can't have an honest debate with dishonest people.

May censorship die a horrible and painful death. Free speech or die.

Yes, they’ve fined bakers and florists who refuse to participate in gay weddings, but rather than marginalizing and shaming these brave Americans, that persecution has encouraged millions to rally around their cause — and now the public, according to polls, is showing signs of respecting freedom of conscience

I suppose I feel like not respecting gay rights isn't a matter of political correctness...it just seems like a mean thing to do. I agree with most of the article, but that part seems a bit far. Also, the planned parenthood remarks that Carly fiorina made during the gop debate were objectively incorrect, so I don't see how that was a victory for "truthful" political correctness

If someone does not feel comfortable doing whatever someone else wants them to do, they should not be forced to do it. There are other people fully willing and wanting to help them. Who in their right fucking mind wants to be catered to by someone who finds them offensive?

If I went to a bakery and asked them to bake a cake for my hypothetical heterosexual marriage tomorrow, and the bakery's owners happened to be a gay couple, and they said they would be "uncomfortable" baking a cake for a heterosexual marriage because, hypothetically, it does for some reason, I would have no problem going to another bakery.

If, in that same scenario, they simply refused to bake the cake without giving a reason, then I would be unhappy.

I think it's more in how someone expresses that they would rather not do something than the fact that they would prefer not to do it. So long as they can express that distaste/preference in a respectful manner, there is no reason to disrespect their opinion in turn.

I sure fucking hope so, so much politically correct insanity has been shoved down my throat for so long I find myself wanting to kill people sometimes (often... always).

The fact this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uveb8-L3YHY linked in the OP article has comments disabled is hilarious. Taking a hint right out of the SJW rule book.

Listening to them read that prompt is a nightmare. They can't even read, why should they be dictating social behavior?
