PC culture is ruining free speech, plain and simple. I don't like hateful speech and would never use it, even behind the anonymity of the internet. However, when people can't make a joke, or even discuss a matter of sensitivity with legitimate sincerity because people don't like a certain word or wish to avoid offending someone we have a problem. The abuse, hate, and violence in the world needs to be highlighted in our news, our art, and our lives. There will definitely be people out there who want to trivialize these things or undermine their importance, but to silence ourselves in the effort of silencing them only makes these problems worse. We need a mature discussion about mature issues.
