Read this in a Sci-Fi book recently, discussing how political correctness had taken over publishing in that genre:
“Examples aren’t hard to find. Disagreement with any of the following beliefs is considered taboo according to the reigning zeitgeist — the pervasiveness of structural racism embedded throughout American society; gender is an entirely social construct, yet gender identity is an innate, immutable quality; speech is violence, but good physical violence should be considered protected expression; race is a socially invented category, yet one’s racial category demands higher loyalty than that granted to any other membership and properly determines one’s political and culture views; white people are innately and ineluctably racist and all efforts on their part to deny this are evidence of white fragility and attempts to buttress white superiority; there are no significant differences between men and women, yet women are uniquely vulnerable to sexual predation from men and so, in any situation of ambiguity of consent, women’s testimony must be favored over men’s; human-generated carbon emissions are the primary driver of climate change and will result in an uninhabitable planet by the end of this century.” Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction (2020)
