@QueenDanceALot. It would be calling someone fat. Difference between pc and upc is calling someone fat or calling someone maybe a bit overweight, or plus size, etc.

It’s difference between being rude or having manners.

I'm not PC but I don't call people fat.  I do say overweight.  If someone wants to be offended by the term 'overweight' then so be it.  You can gild the lily only so many ways but when you're overweight, you're overweight and being offended by the term doesn't change the fact that you are.  I'm overweight but I'm not offended by it because it is what it is.

Well, sure. But I was curious about those "PC" things beyond the fat/curvy conversation.

Seems that some here have issues with other things "we are not allowed to say anymore because people are too sensitive".

@QueenDanceALot  Well, what I say to them is...say whatever you want about anyone or anything. I have never had the ‘PC Police’ come to my door. As a matter of fact, I don’t think they exist at all. Lol.

The only thing I think about when saying something, is how I want to say it. Nicely or mean. And it also depends on how someone has treated me or other people.

I changed my post to say "some people are too sensitive" than "because of the PC police", even though it amounts to the same thing.

I just want to know what things they say that they think are just fine and dandy and people who are offended should just get over it.  And WHY they think it's O.K.

[proudlyfromNJ]

@QueenDanceALot  not really sure what you are saying. I will just say I don’t like people always complaining that they can’t say this or that because of pc police. 

There are no pc police, say what you want. 

I don’t agree with calling people fat, calling people,derogatory names, etc etc which can’t be said here.  

I think it goes back to people’s upbringing. That’s where you learn how to treat people.

I don't see the point in talking about other people's weight at all. I can say whatever I want to about my own body. But going out of my way to talk about other people's weight seems tacky to me.

People already know whether or not they are happy with their weight. They don't need to hear from me about it. To me, this attitude is much more matter of fact and down to earth than assuming anyone wants to hear my opinions on their body.

I don't know how much clearer I can make my question.

I'm moving along now.  It's not likely that anyone will come forward with things they like to say that others find inappropriate and derogatory.

I really don’t understand this attitude.  Would you call someone with a facial birthmark ugly?  Would it be acceptable to call a child with Aspergers or another learning disability stupid?  I never want to use language that might make another person feel bad about themselves. Life is hard enough.  Is it really that difficult to be kind?

I guess I’m guilty of being politically correct and treating people with kid gloves.

There are some very strange people (not here on this forum) with very far out views who have taken basic human virtues and given them nasty new names such as "political correctness" (being decent and respectful in the way you communicate) and "virtue signaling" (being kind and doing good in public). I find it cynical and repugnant.

I hate seeing people take on and internalize and parrot back the framing that considers it suspect to be a nice friendly human being.

@Porcelain, something is wrong with this site because it won't let me give you an unlimited number of hearts. I hope that they fix it pronto.
