If there's one point from Trump that I actually agreed with is that yeah, we're too politically correct these days.

Being triggered by rape-scenes in shows/movies because you were traumatized and politely asking someone to not show you those things is completely reasonable. And there are some things you shouldn't say in mixed company. Or in casual conversation because you don't know who might overhear you.

But then there's being way too paranoid about what you say in general. Or pampering people's feelings way too much. Or being way too easily offended by the simplest things.

Like being easily offended by seeing the word "bacon" because you're Muslim.
Or shaming people for showering naked when you don't. (A friend was recently shamed for this by Anon on Tumblr.)
Being told to not say anything negative at all about Islam...or even pedophilia. (Not joking. )
It's "racist" to say "Chicago."
Declaring "safe spaces" at colleges, which exclude/discriminate people by their gender or sexuality or by some other physical trait.
Wanting to ban meat or animal products everywhere because you're vegetarian or vegan.
Shaming white people for having non-white ancestors. (As if they can choose their lineage...I will never forget that I was called racist for mentioning that I have a Native American ancestor and in the same fucking post, the same people went full-on hypocrite and threw some of the most vile, racist shit I've ever had directed at me...because I--a white female--dared to mention I have a non-white ancenstor. That's Tumblr for ya.)
Some other examples

Funny thing is, it's mostly conservatives that call political correctness bullshit. But as a liberal...I actually agree with them on some of these things. Trying to censor everything because you're afraid of offending people or not wanting your precious feewings hurt because you don't like certain topics is fucking ridiculous.

I love to break it to you babies, but welcome to the real world...Which isn't always full of sunshine, puppies, and fluffy pillows (as much as I would love that). There's a lot of suffering, stress, hardships, and *LE GASP!* disagreeable opinions. Sorry, not sorry.

I don't like ghosts. Do you see me advocating to ban any ghost-related movie or cemetery? No.
I don't like needles. But I don't advocate banning sewing/needle-work or banning vaccines from hospitals.
I also don't like horror/thriller movies. But I don't go around complaining to ban all horror/thriller movies.
I'm agnostic Wiccan. But I don't want to ban all other religious symbols.
I'm also asexual. But I don't advocate banning sexual advertisements.

There's a lot of things I hate or that's different. But you know how I deal with all of it? I fucking suck it up and ignore it and continue on with my life. Because there's a difference between an actual insult...and something that's just a different opinion or barely an annoyance. It probably has no effect on me...So why the fuck should I care?

Bottom line: if you're worried it might offend someone, then it's best to keep it to yourself. And stop being so fucking sensitive about every little thing that disagrees with you or your opinions.
Grow a pair.
