Political Overcorrectness	comment	Works that parody attempts at political correctness by "overcompensating". May involve a governmental authority (often a local council or Media Watchdog) being accused of being over-zealous to the point of parody in trying to avoid offense to minority groups — not unlike the Culture Police but in the other direction. Certain words or phrases are said to have been "banned", as if, say, Chipping Sodbury Borough Council has any effective power over the English language or, indeed, anything. Such parodies may involve a Granola Girl, Soapbox Sadie, or other Straw Character who objects to things they consider offensive, to the point of ridiculousness. Parodies typically involve stylized Newspeak used in random areas the original does not cover as well as blatant Windmills. A Fractured Fairy Tale is a "reimagined" Fairy Tale often retold from a politically correct viewpoint, Played for Laughs. Compare Political Correctness Is Evil for works that depict political correctness, exaggerated or otherwise, as outright detrimental to society.

The races seem to live together in peace now (with the exception of some of the more "exotic" or isolated races), but the anti-racism laws are so strict that, for example, riding a centaur is a hate crime even if the centaur is the one offering, and all magical girls shows must include magical girls of every race with the main character changing every episode. Society even stresses "unity" over individuality.

Political Overcorrectness / int_2212773a	comment	Angel Wesley once appeared with a black eye after saving a pair of power walkers from being devoured by a Hacklar demon. The injury wasn't inflicted by the demon. In the fifth season Harmony proves to be extremely accepting of cultural differences, arguing in defense of a cultural imperative to dismember virgins, and bringing a live camel into the office so Angel could slaughter it and offer pieces of it to their clients. Of course, she doesn't have a soul. Season one had an episode called "Sense and Sensitivity" which gleefully parodied this trope. A demon used magic to cause the L.A.P.D. to become politically correct beyond the point of lunacy, not only in order to control them, but to cause general mayhem. In a day, all the police are "sharing their feelings", that is, babbling incoherently and pathetically about all the injustice and pain in the world, and showing weakness and an aversion to violence in front of hardened criminals. The entire precinct is almost overrun. Then we have Angel's own Berserk Button regarding the politically correct attitude thinking that vampires sleep in coffins - it's actually an offensive stereotype that seemingly originated solely from Dracula's own weirdness, and doesn't remotely apply to anyone else.

Political Overcorrectness / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In an episode, the kids bought ice cream from an ice cream van called "Native American Ice Cream (formerly Big Chief Crazy Cone)". In a latter-day episode, the school is segregated according to gender by a staunch feminist: Lisa is so disappointed with said feminist's "How do numbers make you feeeeeeeeel?" style of teaching (complete with light show) that she crossdresses herself into the boy school, which descended into chaos. A conversation from that episode: In the 90's flashback episode, Marge's college teacher Professor August is being consistently and obnoxiously politically correct about everything he says and does, going way beyond an ordinary Soapbox Sadie. (When the New England Patriots are decisively beating the Washington Redskins on TV, he bursts into tears and calls the game a "genocide.") From Treehouse of Horror VII:

This despite the fact that said woman is blind, crippled from the waist down, and has a bomb strapped to her that will blow her head off if disarmed improperly. And than when Lelouch tells him to just ignore her gender and save her, Suzaku declares he won't do that because it's denying her sexual identity.

Political Overcorrectness / int_3558eaa2	comment	Community The main schtick of Dean Pelton (aside from being not-so Ambiguously Gay) is going overboard with political correctness. In the first Christmas episode he dresses up as "Non-Denominational Mr. Winter" and wishes people a "Merry Happy" and in the second, the college has designated "religious expression zones" with Christmas trees and menorahs cordoned off with yellow tape. In an attempt to create a school mascot with no features anyone could identify as stereotypically of a specific race, they ended up with a grey skinned, Uncanny Valley dwelling horror known as the Greendale Human Being."◊ The Series Finale, which had each character pitching their idea for a hypothetical Season 7, showed that even the Dean has his limits on political correctness when Britta's pitch erases almost his entire personality for the sake of turning him into a token transgender character.

It made him incapable of stopping a crime in progress because he was compelled to morally educate the criminals first. Naturally, the criminals simply continued doing what they were doing during his speech and made off with their loot. This may or may not be a Take That! towards the reaction real-world Moral Guardians had towards the first movie.

At the end of the episode she does again and is given a murderous look by a black doctor. Another episode featured JD on a first date with his new girlfriend (who is black). During the date they end up at the hospital and JD orders a resident to do something trivial before laughing about it... A similar thing occurs when Turk's brother comes to visit, and he makes Turk sleep on the couch while he takes Turk's bed, justifying it because he paid for Turk's medical school. In another episode, Dr. Cox's black friend angrily tells JD, who uses the word "black" that that correct term is "African-American". The confused and a little scared JD tries to tell him that Turk lets him use such terms with him, only for the guy to loudly wonder who this Turk guy is. After JD runs away, Cox congratulates his friend on using the "angry black guy" act, and the guy immediately drops it.

Political Overcorrectness / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld Some novels feature the Campaign for Equal Heights, who protest about using terms like "short weight", and insist employers should hire three dwarfs for every two humans because humans are half again as tall. Most of their campaigners are human; dwarfs are baffled by the whole thing. (And if they do feel insulted by humans, they can make their feelings quite clear without any help, except possibly a battleaxe. Generally, though, a dwarf will answer such insults by outworking a human, making better stuff, getting more money, and buying his business out from under him.) There is also at least one human who has renamed himself Strong-in-the-arm and cranked up his prices because "Dwarf Made" is a synonym for quality. The Campaign for Equal Heights can't complain because it would require them to draw attention to his height as a disqualifying point. There are also the "differently alive" (not "undead") like vampires (hereditary) and banshees, not the same as "living impaired" for those who have died but are still walking around, or "vitally challenged" (not "dead") persons. Except in rare instances that those who have died and aren't walking around are considered lazy by people who should really know better (Reg Shoe, mostly). There was also, for a brief time, a group of humans who wanted to protect troll rights. Trolls never joined, because they thought they already had plenty of rights, what with being multi-ton masses of living stone.

Angel is such a By-the-Book Cop that he constantly interrupts his fellow officers to insert correct terminology ("police service" because "police force" is too aggressive, "staffing" instead of "manpower" because it's not fair to the female police, et cetera) Inverted with his use of "traffic collision" instead of "accident" since "accident implies there's no one to blame". And towards the end of the film, he lightens up when "staffing" is brought up, and makes an off-color comment about the female police officer "enjoying a bit of manpower." It should be noted that this officer had been making off-color comments in reference to herself the whole movie, and laughingly calls Angel a "cheeky monkey/dirty bastard." Also parodied with the Sanford Police Station's swearbox, where the list of words the coppers have to pay to say is bowdlerized with asterisks, except for the worst of them.

Political Overcorrectness / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Kankri from Homestuck, as a parody of Tumblr and the Overly Narrow Superlative sect of the LGBT community, overly defines every potential facet of his caste system and tries way too hard to make sure nothing he says offends anyone in the slightest, often asking people for a detailed list of what would offend them before going into one of his monologues. He seems to be blissfully unaware that his attitude comes off as incredibly sexist and bigoted to his friends. It gets to his point where he actually criticizes a mentally-ill person who falls down a lot and has poor coordination for wearing a helmet on the grounds that it implies that all of the mentally-ill should be forced to wear helmets. Another character suggests that his political correctness is just a ruse to get away with backhandedly talking about his friends's flaws to their faces. He's also completely failed to notice that his entire society now consists of twelve trolls, and most of them really don't give a damn about the subjects of his speeches. Of course, he may just be ignoring this as it would refute his right to talk on and on at length. This goes so far that Karkat (of all people) reflects that, by just shouting everything he thinks in everybody's faces riddled with expletives, he is not just a more honest, but also a more respectful person - he actually tells people what he thinks.

Political Overcorrectness / int_54299033	comment	In the short story Harrison Bergeron parodies the (perceived) attitudes of equality activists. It takes place in a future dystopia where everyone has been made equal by handicapping devices which curtail excess intelligence, strength, creativity, beauty, or any other natural advantage (and if you had an unnatural advantage, such as skill due to training, you were only allowed to use it to make yourself average). There's even a government official (The "Handicapper General") whose job is to oversee this. She's fond of using shotguns as a tool of equality. The TV movie had a similar take. The government remakes the world to look like the 1950s (because that's when Americans are thought to have been happiest); the death penalty is enforced—on live television—for crimes like jaywalking; in schools, you fail if you score too low... but also if you score too high; you're supposed to be embarrassed if you beat someone in chess too easily... And people are in favor of all this. One government official (in order to rule, of course, they must be free of the devices that inhibit them) explains to Harrison in a borderline non-sequitur that while this has resulted in a marked decline in, for example, the arts, if it had meant an end to atrocities like what happened in World War II, he would put the gun to Beethoven's temple (they were listening to Beethoven while watching footage of World War II) himself. Whether Vonnegut was parodying the attitudes of equality activists or those of the people who complain about such efforts is a matter of debate, since both sides are presented as part of the War On Straw

The majority of the characters roll their eyes at this, suggesting that Hermione is taking it too far. It's later revealed that even the elves are against it, since they enjoy serving others. Dobby later tells Hermione that the house elves appreciate her sentiment and that she's thinking of their well-being, but what they don't appreciate is that she was trying to trick them into accepting clothing against their will, making them regard her as something of a Well-Intentioned Extremist. Latter subverted when it's suggested that the S.P.E.W. ideals motivated some house-elves to participate in the Battle of Hogwarts, and Harry attempting to be nice to Kreacher prompts the elf to tell him about the location of a horcrux. It's implied that Hermione has shifted her stance over time, however, as her understanding of the house-elf psyche has improved—she isn't calling for Harry to free Kreacher (as she might have in the previous two books, especially Phoenix); rather, she merely suggests that Harry treat Kreacher well.

It's played with in that O'Briain, while clearly finding their specific accusation a bit ludicrous ("their previous target was Robert Mugabe ... and now me."), initially describes his defensive reaction before conceding that the complaint had a point, he had no real defence for it and as an Irishman he's benefited quite a bit from increased politically correct attitudes so really doesn't have much cause to complain about them. He also goes on to point out that a lot of typical defences of politically incorrect material from stand-up comedians such as "civil rights, comedy's obligation to say the difficult thing and freedom of speech" tend to sound a bit lofty and pretentious for what are, most of the time, basically dick jokes. In another show, he discussed religious people who kept coming up to him after he made jokes about Catholics and Protestants for being "too scared" to make jokes about Muslims instead. Dara pointed out that the real reason that he didn't make jokes about Muslims was that neither he nor his likely audience actually knew anything about Muslims, so even if he was to make a brilliant joke about Islam most of the people in the audience wouldn't get it anyway.

Duckman also featured occasional appearances from Iggy Catalpa, a wannabe comedian who tries to make his jokes as inclusive and inoffensive as possible. It doesn't work, until King Chicken comes along with an evil plan, and gives him a liquid charisma potion that makes him appear funny to everyone, except for Duckman, who unknowingly ingested a pill that countered the effects of the potion. It got to the point that a law was passed that all jokes told publicly must be as politically correct as Iggy's, all of this in order to make Duckman feel like an outcast.

Political Overcorrectness / int_d0744832	comment	The Avengers: Somewhat lampshaded during Kurt Busiek's run, where the team was forced to add at least one ethnic minority to its decidedly-white roster. Iron Man spends most of the issue complaining about how idiotic the notion of "diversity" is, while The Wasp feels crappy after realizing just how few minority members the team actually had up until that point. Thor and Captain America are also shown to be deeply angry and frustrated over the issue, believing that the Avengers should base their recruitment on actual talent, ability, competence, teamwork and dedication and not on ethnicity. Thor even goes so far as to ask "What does the color of a man's skin have to do with the content of his heart?" A much earlier issue from the 1980s had a similar set-up, but with a much more negative message. Hawkeye is unfairly kicked off the team in favor of The Falcon (an African American), and Falcon ultimately quits because he hates the idea of only being asked to join the Avengers to serve as the Token Minority.

Political Overcorrectness / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park does this one several times a season. Perhaps the biggest example is "Death Camp of Tolerance". Mr. Garrison learns that if he gets fired for being gay, he can sue the school for millions, so he tries to get fired on purpose by doing increasingly depraved sexual acts in front of his students, including bringing in his new assistant (and boyfriend), Mr. Slave. Mr. Garrison is horrified when he receives nothing but praise and applause for his "courage", while his students are berated as being "homophobic" for speaking up about it and sent to the titular Auschwitz-like Tolerance Camp. When Mr. Garrison actually receives an award for his behaviour, he explodes with rage at his audience, saying that the kinds of things he has been doing are sick and should not be tolerated no matter who is doing them. Unfortunately he also accidentally lets slip his plan to sue the school, so the principal sends both him and Mr. Slave to the Tolerance Camp as punishment, claiming that they are Boomerang Bigots intolerant of their own homosexuality. Mr. Slave thinks it looks like fun. It was also subverted in the episode when, after having just emerged from the Museum of Tolerance - where the boys were encouraged by the curator and their parents to be accepting of the life-choices of others - the curator yells at a smoker to go away (even though he was outside and away from the doors), with the parents joining in by calling him "dirty lungs", among other things. Additionally, in "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson", Randy Marsh (Stan's dad) gets hounded everywhere as "that Nigger Guy" because he accidentally used a racial epithet on national television, (A quick explanation of how- It was Wheel of Fortune, the bonus round, the clue was "People that annoy you" and the letters were N_GGERS. The answer? Naggers.) even after he literally kisses Jesse Jackson's ass while seeking forgiveness. This episode slowly turns into a subversion of the trope by the end, though, when Congress becomes so outraged by the oppression of Randy Marsh and others like him that they ban the epithet "Nigger Guy". "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" in which Mrs. Brofloski protests the school's Christmas play so that the school will remove the overtly Christian elements. The priest counter-protests that if they take Christ out of Christmas, they'll need to take out all the stuff about Santa Claus as well. They have to take down the Christmas tree due to objections by environmentalists and the lights because it may offend epileptics. One person even claims to be offended by mistletoe, though they don't explain why. So, what they get is an abstract avant-garde musical, with all the third graders prancing around in black unitards to ambient music and chanting. It's not received well, and the audience breaks out into a riot. At the end, Mr. Hankey delivers the Stock Aesop about how Christmas is about people being nice to each other and baking cookies. Cut to Jesus, alone in his TV studio, sadly singing "Happy Birthday to Me". In "Free Hat," Steven Spielberg announces a re-release of Saving Private Ryan, where the word "Nazis" is replaced with "persons with political differences." Another episode has Cartman throwing a rock at Token because he thought Token called him fat. Because Token is black, the police consider it a hate crime and put Cartman in juvie. The boys (including Token) get him pardoned with a presentation they call "Hate Crime Laws-A Vicious Hypocrisy" which "made more sense than any presentation I've heard all year" according to the governor. All of Season 19 is one big Take That! to internet "social justice warriors" and their motto of "no bad tactics, only bad targets", i.e. they use bullying, threats, violence, and public shaming in order to beat the wrongthink out of anyone who dares disagree with their ultra-progressive views. Freshly joining the cast in this season is the PC Principal. To put it bluntly, he is nothing short of the Anthropomorphic Personification of this trope. In "Sponsored Content", he threatens to break the legs of the editor of the school newspaper because the word "retarded" was used in an article. Then when he finds out Jimmy is the editor and has no problem with the word being used, PC Principal has no idea what to do about it. Much like the aforementioned "Death Camp of Tolerance" did before, an overarching theme in the season is the point to be made that while plenty of discriminatory views have no place in modern society, this culture of hyper-political correctness is less about actually fighting for the downtrodden and providing solutions to these problems inasmuch as it's more about people wanting to feel better about themselves and using political correctness as a tool to stroke their own shallow and fragile egos. And PC Principal, for all his thuggish ways, is shown to genuinely care for the cause (as shown when he expresses disgust at how his PC fraternity brothers use political correctness and progressive politics to look good in front of women). In the Bad Future of South Park: Post Covid, Jimmy's become a comedic Talk Show host but isn't allowed to tell any actual jokes to avoid offending anyone. It becomes a Running Gag where he seemingly sets up to tell an offensive joke but replaces the punchline with a compliment.

In "Pangs", several characters (most notably Willow) are ambivalent about fighting a Native American spirit seeking revenge due to the atrocities committed against his people, despite the fact that he's killing innocent people who had nothing to do with said atrocities. It takes an epic The Reason You Suck speech from Spike to goad them into action. Buffy is arguing with Angel, saying she can't trust him because he's a vampire. When Angel takes offense, she snarks, "I'm sorry, should I have said Undead American?" Ethan Rayne is giving the We Used to Be Friends speech to Giles, who points out that Ethan now worships Chaos. Ethan replies, "Oh, religious intolerance." Buffy's Watcher informs her she can't leave Sunnydale to go to college, being The Chosen One. Buffy whines, "You can't just define me by my Slayerness!

Each of them turns out to be hyper-critical and manages to find problematic implications in everything he says — before he even manages to get to the speech ("I don't need a man's permission to raise my hand!"). Finally, in frustration, he asks them to at least allow him to read his speech to them, which begins with a clearly offensive joke about a "Chinaman, a Polack and an Arab" — but because none of the three employees fall into those categories, they find it hilarious.
