Is the phrase "Deliciously politically incorrect" used with the same gay abandon in the U.S.? You come across it all the time here, and it usually means, quite simply, that a book or a movie or a TV program is racist and/or sexist and/or homophobic; there is a certain kind of cultural commentator who mysteriously associates these prejudices with a Golden Age during which we were allowed to do a lot of things that we are not allowed to do now. {The truth is that there's no one stopping them from doing anything. What they really object to is being recognized as the antisocial pigs that they really are.}
The phrase "Deliciously politically incorrect" is frequently used to describe works that embrace racism, sexism, or homophobia, suggesting a nostalgic longing for a time when such views were more socially accepted. Critics who use this phrase often romanticize a Golden Age, believing it was a period of greater freedom of expression devoid of contemporary social constraints.
However, it is essential to note that no one is truly preventing these creators from expressing their beliefs. The criticism usually stems from a discomfort with a backlash against their views, essentially revealing their reluctance to confront their own biases and the negativity that comes with them.
