History Main / PoliticallyCorrectVillain

* Dr. Cocteau, from ''Film/DemolitionMan'' has banned [[SmokingIsNotCool tobacco,]] [[OffTheWagon alcohol,]] [[IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou fatty and sugary foods]] [[MeatVersusVeggies including meat,]] non-educational toys, [[GoshdangItToHeck profanity,]] and [[SexIsEvil sexual intercourse,]] with children being conceived through [[DesignerBabies in-vitro fertilization.]] He [[EvilIsNotAToy brings back]] [[AxCrazy Simon Phoenix]] to murder-death-kill Edgar Friendly, because [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill Friendly leads the sewer dwellers who found Cocteau's society stifled their lives too much.]]

* ''Film/{{PCU}}'' features Ms. Garcia-Thompson, Port Chester University's DeanBitterman, who has pushed a "cultural sensitivity" agenda [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad that borders on extremism]] onto the campus and has pretty much run its effectiveness as an actual place to get an education into the ground (she discusses giving an entire building to the "[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative Department of Bisexual Asian Studies.]]" But, who goes? The Math Department or the Hockey team?). An important plot point on the final act is that her bosses are so mad at her extremism that they are looking for an excuse to get rid of her, which [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits the Pit]] exploits to get back at her for trying to get them expelled for "being disruptive".

** Le Chevalier Blanc considers himself a KnightInShiningArmor trying to protect poor, innocent superheroines from a world that exploits and objectifies them... by putting them into [[HumanPopsicle suspended animation]] until the day when he's managed to completely eradicate sexism (which he's sure won't take him more than a few years or so!). After she manages to free himself, Emp makes it clear what she thinks of [[WithFriendsLikeThese "allies" like him.]]

* PC Principal from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' starts off as an overbearing asshole who punishes Kyle for daring to say Caitlyn Jenner isn't "stunning and brave" for coming out as a transsexual, but escalates it when he violently beats the crap out of Cartman for daring to use the word "Capiche", due to its association with stereotyped Italian mobster behavior. [[SkewedPriorities The fact that Cartman was openly in the process of trying to frame him for sexually molesting Butters is completely irrelevant.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearofStarCommand'': Evil Emperor Zurg to his MechaMooks, while taking over an alien planet: "You may enslave the population! Women and children first -- I'm an equal-opportunity enslaver!"

When played for laughs, will often be shown indulging in PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad. Polar opposite to the PoliticallyIncorrectHero and NobleBigot, who don't give two craps about being modern and sensitive, but ''are'' very firmly against more blatant and unambiguous acts of evil. May blend into WellIntentionedExtremist when the villain's goal is to create a world where everyone is as open-minded as they are. Compare and contrast EnlightenedAntagonist, who also combines "good" beliefs with "bad" actions, but whose "goodness" is of a more cosmic and timeless kind.

* ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'' plays this completely straight, with the villainous representatives of the Federal Government embracing feminism, anti-racism, etc. to a man. (Realistically, their actual motivations vary, from sincere belief to cynical profiteering.) They do this even to the point where it harms their own military effectiveness, deploying unqualified women in the infantry and promoting incompetent minorities ahead of white men.

This odd counterpart to the more common PoliticallyIncorrectVillain sees no problem with [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking killing, plundering, double-crossing and handing in his library books too late]]... but they're very concerned with it all being done in an enlightened, progressive manner, without falling prey to racism, sexism or other despicable attitudes. They will insist on EqualOpportunityEvil, and sternly rebuke any of his fellow villains who fail to do the same.

Examples include:

[[AC:ComicBooks]]

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* [[GeneralRipper Kurtz]] from ''Literature/{{Dreamcatcher}}'', upon learning that one of his soldiers have refered to TheGrays as "space niggers," shoots the soldier in the leg and then gives him a passionate lecture - while the soldier is writhing in agony on the ground - about how while they are certainly going to [[GuiltFreeExterminationWar exterminate the aliens]], they are going to do so in accordance with the army's established standards of racial sensitivity.
* At one point in ''Literature/{{Otherland}}'', two minor villains - a GeneralRipper and a CorruptCorporateExecutive - are discussing their plans, and the general asks what the boys in the executive's tech branch has come up with to help them. The executive playfully berates the general for being so old-fashioned, pointing out that many of his techs are in fact girls.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* While Zachary Comstock in ''Videogame/BioShockInfinite'' is a PoliticallyIncorrectVillain when it comes to race and just generally an awful person, he has apparently also preached against the evils of misogyny and told his followers that it's one of the sins of "the Sodom Below." It may or may not be self-serving, though - since he plans to have his daughter succeed him as ruler of Colombia, he has practical reasons to not tolerate any sexist nonsense.

-->'''Rhys:''' Sup ladies? Whatcha been doing? Talking about boys?
-->'''Captain:''' (''icily'') No. Just discussing casual misogyny and how it manifests in corporate executives.

[[AC:WebComics]]
* Power and Prejudice from ''Webcomic/DoesNotPlayWellWithOthers'' certainly consider themselves, and are referred to as, supervillains, though in their case they're [[DirtyCoward too wussy]] to actually break the law, so they just sort of [[PokeThePoodle go around yelling at straight, white, cisgendered people about how horrible they are.]] [[spoiler: They also have a third partner named Narrative who stands ready to take pictures, so that whenever someone snaps from the barrage of verbal abuse and physically assaults them, [[DeliberateInjuryGambit they can use it to tank the attacker's public standing.]]]]

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* PC Principal from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' starts off as an overbearing asshole who punishes Kyle for daring to say Caitlyn Jenner isn't "stunning and brave" for coming out as a transsexual, but escalates it when he violently beats the crap out of Cartman for daring to use the word "Capiche", due to its association with stereotyped Italian mobster behavior.

-->'''Skip:''' Fine. We're demons. We're evil. Can't you have a little class?

# For horror, showing that the villain has such SkewedPriorities that he honestly thinks that using a racial slur is worse than the gross bodily harm he routinely inflicts on people, and that he's generally insane and unpredictable.
