The Most Absurd PC Moments of the 2010s

You guys… (I assume genders) These sound like jokes but unfortunately, they are not. I hope the 2020 kids aren’t going to be this emotionally special:

15. Lecturers were warned that capital letters might scare students and that they should avoid using them. 

Journalism lecturers at Leeds Trinity University were instructed to avoid using all caps when communicating with students, because it might make them too afraid to do the assignment.

You can read the rest here.

  1. Oh, FFS! The future, with these ejits in charge scares me.

    I repeat, in all caps: FFS! Since when does ‘fear’ excuse you from doing an assignment –or ANYTHING– in school or in real life?

    Life is scary. And messy. And unfair. The only comic relief lately seems to come from laughing at the folks who insist they can fix that by regulating our vocabulary.

  2. Let’s not forget:
    – Taco Tuesday is cultural appropriation
    – Manspreading
    – It’s OK to be white
    – Blue lives matter is insensitive

    I did remember a lot more, but they were before 2010, so I left them out.
    I also left off all of the ridiculous things that were claimed to be racist (climate change, pollution, etc).
    Those came to my brain within 2 minutes of starting to read the article. What do the rest of you remember in the last 10 years?
