There's been Yahoo articles that amount to.... eight or nine tweets from bored soccer moms about something Raven Simone said on The View said she was insensitive. Raven has gotten out of hand! To be fair, much of the things she had said recently were pretty stupid. I don't pay attention to her. Was just pointing out absurdity of 11 tweets = national outage that specifically Yahoo resorts to in the absence of spicy attractive news.

"I guess people are too PC" = "I made a shitty remark and I don't want to own it now." Yes I've seen some of that. But I've also seen this sentiment: "People that question political correctness just want to be bigots" which tends to equal I can't handle my worldview being questioned or back up my arguments so I'll just dismiss you with a negative label and try to shut you up. As with a lot of things it's hardly a cut-and-dried issue. Yeah, I'm sure that exists, too. South Park's latest season skewered people who were PC solely for self-serving reasons. It's one thing to truly strive for equality and to make sure marginalized groups aren't further insulted, but another entirely just to do it for retweets or to pile-on or whatever.

And I will co sign this with a big batch of bullshit. Do not stand there and tell me that PC culture hasn't gotten out of hand. For the love of god look at places like Brown University. People are so scared to say anything that goes against the norm that students are literally having to go underground to have any sort of political discussion. Not just evil white men either but full blown liberals because apparently they aren't left enough. Or how last month at Yale during a discussion on free speech was derailed by some white guy who immediately started hurling insults are everyone in attendance. For those in the audience who also happened to be minorities he spat on them and called them race traitors. Or how about the two Professors at Yale who resigned this week because there email asking students to not cause trouble on Halloween towards costumes that could be called offensive, was some how insensitive. Also I remember the fact that the University of Missouri was met with protests because of a poop swastika and somebody who lied about the KKK being on campus. But being offended, never happens. Just because The Daily Show or Jon "Its 2015" Oliver don't have it on their program doesn't mean this stuff isn't happening. Also yes I am offended. I am offended that you three could take all this and boil it down to, "No, you." Dude, no offense, but you just literally proved my point in that post. I get it am offended. But it isn't something stupid like video games or being asked out for coffee. People are being trampled on some times even physically but some people have to just take it because other wise it isn't very PC.
