On this forum the moderators are in charge of it of course. You're right that it is often used in a derogatory way by people who oppose it, but as a member of the political persuasion that would tend to do oppose over-use of it, I can say that doesn't necessarily prevent invoking it. Though perhaps a better/non politically charged word would simply be "inappropriate" (with a further/more specific description of why, if not obvious).Algr said:

@Buzz Bloom -- I looked at the 0-point warning to see what happened. Let's just say that some topics can be appropriate in the technical Biology/Medical forum when there is a serious scientific discussion, but in the Lounge the same post is seen as juvenile and inappropriate. There are many examples of this -- you can do a search in the Bio/Med forum for the keyword that you used to see what appropriate discussions of the topic look like.russ_watters said:

To me, "PC" has a political connotation. (in the US politico-social context
"PC" stands for "politically correct."
The term "PC" is used to describe language or behavior that is considered respectful and inclusive towards marginalized groups.
Moderation warnings may be given when someone uses language that is not considered "PC" and may be offensive or harmful to others.
No, the concept of being "PC" has been around for many years, but it has gained more attention and discussion in recent times.
Yes, what is considered "PC" can change over time as language evolves and societal norms and values shift. It is important to stay informed and respectful of current language usage.
