When it comes to PC, though, I think it's impossible to lump sum it all up into one generalization. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. It's fundamentally impossible to do something which someone might not agree with.
One example is that 02 episode where Cody learned that it was okay to lie sometimes. That falls in stark contrast with about all the shows I saw when I was young where the morality firmly stated: "DON'T LIE. PERIOD."
Luckily, that didn't piss off the "Certain Individual" who always creates a media blitz over some stupid little thing that no one else would have noticed or cared about if the individual had kept their mouth shut.
Like this one lady who sued an airline for racism because the stewardesses where counting passengers with the old rhyme "Eeenie Meenie Miney Moe..." which, in the older days, used to regularly feature the use of the word "Nigger."
So I don't think morality can ever be firmly nailed down, and consequently, PC will never die. It can be weakened, sure, but never be gone fully.
Hell, take me for example:
If I knew that guy with the handgun had used it to kill someone innocent or rape, or somthing worse, I'd not only use the flamethrower on him without hesitation, I'd save the head for last so I could charcoal his limbs enough to the point where I could kick them off while he watched.

Gnostic Metatron Prime Wrote:2) Using digimon as weapons against other humans, no matter what the context, is immoral. I mean, would you command a domesticated, untrained dog to engage an armed robber? Or, to look at it from another angle, would you use a flamethrower on a guy who's only got a handgun to defend himself with? The answer to both questions is no.
