Just got "bingo" on another thread as someone said "Why is it Politically Incorrect to say XYZ...."

And I couldn't help but wonder, has anyone ever used the term "straight"? Has anyone on this forum ever thought, disapprovingly, or said, disapprovingly that something was wrong/bad because it was "politically incorrect". If so, what did you mean?

Or is it purely a straw man thing as I suspect? something that is only ascribed to other people?

Well, I've had quite a few of DH's friends say things like...
"but I suppose that's politically incorrect, isn't it?"

But that's more of a way to justifiy them saying verry politically incorrect things.

I've been told that a view of mine was ....phobic. Which is imo quite similar, tbh.
