And most Brexiteers do not have an issue with Europeans and it was Hitler who hated Jews you hinge. As a jew, I do believe the labour party is anti semetic. But I'm certainly not going to get into that on here with with you - someone who simply wants to resort to name calling. I'll stick to wrestling talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that's the case for you, but that is one connotation attached to that phrase. Probably, but there is a massive difference. Excessive political correctness leads to an avoidance of expression and action for fear of controversy - aimed at specific groups of people - it shuts down conversation and expression, sometimes humour. Hate goes far further - hate speech, xenophobia, homophobia, trans-phobia - all of which should not be tolerated in society. But if Political correctness prevents action, we end up with the kind of situations like what happened with that Peodo scandal involving members of the asian community in Rochdale. But again, I am hugely supportive of Diversity and Inclusion, its a huge part of my agenda currently at work an d something I care passionately about.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_3165 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 On the political correctness point... surely it should just be replaced with 'being kind and considerate of others'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the replies to the women's match announcement were jokes about it being an intergender match or, "why are you calling it a women's match? I see two women and a man". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love-Wilcox Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Looking at the replies to Brandi’s latest tweets it seems that the vast majority of comments are pro LGBTQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chap on Twitter tried to alert this to the Young Bucks, with screen shotted evidence, and they promptly blocked him, so they know that it's there. Then Cody/Brandy issued their statements on the matter after enough people were pointing it out. Hopefully all this negativity is being made by people who don't plan to go to the show at all or watch it anyway, and are just looking for any avenue to insert their hateful comments. I'd like to think that the crowd at DON will self-police the issue and shut down any backwater comments being made.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2019 People are getting worked up over Political Correctness. To steal a line, they're forgetting that even Political Correctness itself used to be called Spastic Gaytalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
