To find tenuous and contrived reasons to be offended by statements or actions of others.
Example: "He didn't use a gender neutral term, so he is both sexist and transphobic" when really he is just bad at grammar. The person who said this was preaching cynical correctness

Using a non-offensive term for something.
"Why are conservatives so offended by political correctness?"
"Because they would rather use the racist and homophobic terms."

A way of censorship and judgment by following what the society establishs it's right or wrong, without giving the events, the ideas or the decisions that are being judged the depth it deserves. Political correctness is most of the time related with left ideologies, but it depends on the country and the subject. In America for example, people use to care more about black people than women, ergo, most of the time, political correctness with black people issues more than women issues. In the other hand, in Mexico people use to care more about women issues than indian community issues, so political correctness is applied to women issues and not to indian issues. Also, an overlooked aspect of political correctness is that, in some cases, it's applied in a way that people don't realise about it, given to the fact that political correctness is only associeted with left ideologies
βMary got laid with more than 30 men and she's only 23, what a whore!β this is an example of political correctness by conservative people.
βIn this new book by Marty R. Jefferson, three black men steal a liquor store and kill the owner, it's such an offense to black people by using such a racist stereotype.β this is an example of political correctness by liber people.
βHeard Liv is a feminist now, so sad, now she spents her days yelling nonsense at rallies, she's only looking for a good fuck.β
βHave you seen Joker already? My god what an awful movie, the main character, Arthur, is such an incel!β

I'll give some examples of political correctness being used by the liberal part of the population and the conservative> part of the population.

Acting with a degree of civility towards your fellow human beings; regarded as tyrannical suppression of free speech by conservatives who cannot bear to be respectful and considerate of women and minorities. Ironically, the term is wielded by hypersensitive right-wingers to smear and silence viewpoints that deviate even slightly from far-right ideology.
The term has become a convenient scapegoat for politicians to evade responsibility for their own failed policies and safeguard the status quo. By directing the people's anger away from the real sources of their problems and towards "political correctness", politicians successfully preclude genuine political discourse and actual problem-solving.
Person 1: Gays are disgusting disease-ridden sluts who should burn in hell.
Person 2: That's not nice.
Person 1: HELP!!! POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS SUPPRESSING MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!
Comedian: Blacks are chimps who should go back to Africa. Am I right?
Audience doesn't laugh.
Comedian: Oh? Are you all PC?
Audience member: No. We just didn't think the joke was funny. That's all.
Comedian: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS RUINING COMEDY!!!
Citizen: Our for-profit health care system has left millions without health insurance and drives hundreds of thousands to bankruptcy every year. Why don't we expand Medicare so everyone can receive decent and affordable coverage?
Politician: I hear you. But I think we really need to be talking about the epidemic of political correctness that is harming us all.
