Today's bit of wisdom

There is a difference between "not politically correct" and fucking rude.

Exactly. It's sort of a 'cool' thing to do nowadays to be all 'I'm so not PC!', as if that made you a rebel or something. When in actuality, most of political correctness? Consists of not being a bigoted dick.

You'd think that such supposedly enlightened people would get that, but no, they never do.

I like how people excuse their bad behavior by admiting it and they think it makes it all better. Fandom Wank discussed this once. All those obnoxious trolls saying, "well, I'm bitchy so deal" or "I'm not very PC, and I'm psycho!" like now you have to put up with their rudeness because it's "how they are".

wtf.

...ew. I'll add those to the list right behind "I'm just honest and you can't handle me" for Things I Hate When Used As Transparent Excuses To Be An Asshole.

(As for making bad behavior all better, FW doesn't give anyone leeway to ever redeem themselves, so... y'know, once you slip up you're fucked forever.)

Yep!

Anything in particular set this off?

Didja see the bad_service wank that spilled over the customers_suck that was on JF? Some guy in the latter post was being all snotty at the furries, and when people mentioned that being a furry had nothing to do with the situation, he was all "yeah, I just have a habit of being very non-PC." Um. Whatever.

I saw the wank but didn't get that far. ::headdesk::

It's like the world is conspiring to make me ranty today. I'd work on my rant meme list, but I'm feeling ranty in a fandom way.

Wow, and hot on the heels of the Deletrious Nazi wank! Must be something in the air...
