Makes me think of a local friend here who likes to use the term "weaponized political correctness." What mostly bothers me is that it tends to be very indirect or "passive aggressive," and lacks the authenticity of someone simply stating their perspective from their truthful convictions.
It troubles me most that compassion and empathy-- which I see as positive attributes-- are being misused to manipulate and instill guilt.
