Regular reminder that conservatives are just as intent on enforcing "politically correct" language and narratives as anyone else, it's just that their version of "correct" means erasing a diverse and growing list of types of people from acknowledgement and existence.

Societal norms exist as a natural irreducible result of a society existing. We decide what's appropriate to say, and to whom. It's a collective thing. It changes over time.
Ours changed.
We used to have far less inclusive and more toxic norms. Some people think that was better.

They think it was better, by and large, because they were included in our exclusive norms, which benefitted them materially.
It's easier to succeed when so many others aren't allowed to be; if the existence of others is policed by social norms but the existence of you isn't.

When people complain about "political correctness" or "woke scolding" it just means they'd like to keep controlling those norms to benefit themselves exclusively, and they're angry they don't anymore.
Stories are what change those norms quickest. So they attack stories.
