I see it too. Political correctness is unauthentic and fake IMO. Political correctness is also used to leverage power for some people. They feel like they are the authority to judge what others say and have the ability to use that against them, especially in work environments.
I'm not saying people should be racist or sexist assholess or anything like that. But guys shouldn't have to worry about giving the wrong female coworker a handshake and get hit with sexual harassment complaints either.
Also
I think that life is so easy for most people now days that they create petty drama out of boredom.

I try to convey little things through text. For example, if I'm joking, I'll follow my sentence with "lol" so that people don't take it so seriously. If I'm being sarcastic, I'll add a perenthesis next to the sarcastic part (sarcasm) so that people know I'm being sarcastic. But anger and happiness are more difficult to convey. Using emoji helps to an extent but you can't use emoji everywhere.

There are great writers coming up all the time. Maybe you have conceded to old-age and have become grumpy. You're probably approaching middle-age though.

I'm grumpy now... I don't like anyone and I hate em' all. People bother me and I have no time for fake ass people or small talk.
For example..
I do not like my wife's sister or her husband. They are extremely judgemental, stuck up, bitchy, and back stabbing in every single way. I do not like them and I know they don't like me. Buuuuuut.... They are super "nice" and friendly" when there's a group of people, say at a bday party.
I avoid/ ignore them for the duration of said event, but my wife gets mad because I don't "mingle" with them.
It would be a fake niceness and I don't have time for that shit..

Most people are fake nice which is why I don't associate with most people. The only people I'm fake nice to are my co-workers. Everyone else can fuck themselves.

There's the regular fake nice, but I think Cracked Egg's in-laws sound like the brand of fake-nice that wants you to know it's fake

"being nice" is a totally ambiguous phrase anyway. most people are just thinking of either: 1) adherence to cultural mores or 2) people-pleasers when they think of being being nice and "nice people". cultural mores are ethically arbitrary and people-pleasing behavior is selfishly motivated
some people may not think of me as a "nice" person. I doubt anyone thinks I am "mean", but I don't think that most people would pick out the word "nice" if asked to describe me. I feel extremely well respected by basically everyone IRL though. people listen to me and come to me for advice and all that. specifically because they know I'm not just going to "be nice" and tell them whatever I think will make them feel better, which is what a lot of "nice" people who can't stand to hurt peoples' "feelings" do. If someone who is obese with a binge eating disorder comes to me asking for advice, is it "nice" for me to act like their obesity is caused by something other than their binge eating? To act like it's genetic or something, and just perpetuate/exacerbate the associated problems I know they'll have, just to avoid the minor momentary problem of making them feel sad? No, that isn't nice. Of course, I also don't go around giving the obese unsolicited weight loss advice: that would be mean.
I try to take the middle path at all times

The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces; the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
Hold on to the center.

I'm talking about the kind of fake nice that makes people pretend to be your friend but deep down they don't give a shit about you.

I've thought this before, but they are so high on their own pedestal that they, in their heads, believe that I am buying their bullshit.

Not trolling you but can you see how the last thing you said could very well be creating a subconscious feedback loop "creating" more of those very situations for yourself?

PSI, I was THIS close to posting the same thing yesterday. I decided not to keep pushing after his pathetic walking away graemlin guy kinda made me feel bad for him, but after a 2nd look, this whole thread is about how crackedegg is tired of people being too sensitive and now he's being all sensitive and shit?
I shoulda posted it yesterday but I'm glad it got done

"No Nose Job" is another good Humpty Hump track.
The Netflix show Hip Hop Evolution had some good interviews with this guy. He looks totally different without the whole getup.

I havent heard of any actual racist or homophobe being cancelled? I think it makes certain types of people like them more and gives the more business. Someones gotta stand up to the trannies and n words right?? Cancel culture is what people who wanna say the N Word without reprocussions beleive in. No one actually gets cancelled to the degree it costs them their livelyhood. Like every rich racists it stil a rich racist. Cancel culture is poor people complaining they dont have the same priveleges as the elite. this thread is just poor people triggered and whining to me.

It does seem to be an issue of the rich and famous.
Anyone else got a real life example?
