There's always this self-contradiction built into arguments about political correctness. "It's crazy that liberals obsess over what terms to use! That's not what's important! Also, it is CRUCIAL that we call this the Chinese Virus! The terminology dictates all future behavior!"
"It's laughable how SJW's lecture people on pronouns as if that's what matters right now! Also, if we allow trans people to dictate what pronouns we use OUR ENTIRE SOCIETY WILL COLLAPSE BECAUSE TRUTH AND LANGUAGE HAVE BEEN DESTROYED FOREVER."
Part of it is that conservative commentators have to conform to a, "I'm cool and collected while the leftists are shrill and crazy" character, that's been a staple forever. So they have to switch between that tone and "If the cultural marxists get their way, the West will DIE!!"
"Let's smirk our way through a monologue about how the libs get triggered over even the dumbest stuff, like movies. And don't forget that tomorrow we'll post our six-hour response video to rebut the leftist response video to our three-hour The Last Jedi review."
