    I absolutely hate this common, deliberate “misunderstanding”. Political correctness isn’t killing free speech. It has never tried to. Political correctness simply means that times change, and you can’t go around insulting people without consequence.

      I mean I’d more say political correctness is saying shit that aligns with the current political climate, conservatives just stole it and started calling everything they disagree with ‘pOlItIcAlLy CoRrEcT’. I read a book from the nineties where political correctness was used to describe the classic conservatism. Traditional family, anti Muslim sentiment, yada yada yada.

        Yeah… the topic annoys me so much I was responding to the attitude of the original rather than what you actually posted. Ironically, this makes me a hypersensitive snowflake that conservatives constantly make fun of. lol oh well!

        And in my opinion, Judy Hopps is firmly in the friend zone.
