PC Bro

About

PC Bro is a shorthand for "politically correct bro" (not to be confused with PC gaming), which was coined during the 19th season of the animated television show South Park in reference to members of a social justice warrior fraternity. In the show, PC bros aggressively enforce political correctness through violence and intimidation, often referencing controversial identity politics topics like microaggressions, cultural appropriation, safe spaces, triggering and privilege.

Origin

On September 16th, 2015, the South Park episode "Stunning and Brave" was broadcast, which introduced the character PC Principal and his fraternity house of social justice warrior brothers. Throughout the show's 19th season, members of the fraternity often pose the question "You PC bro?", when determining someone's commitment to social justice. The following day, YouTuber SocialJustice 123 uploaded a clip from the South Park episode in which a group of PC fraternity brothers sing a chant about social justice (shown below).

Spread

On September 17th, the men's interest blog BroBible^[2] published an article about the episode, which praised the comparison of social justice warriors to fraternity brothers. On September 19th, Redditor dudeomfgstfux posted a PC master race-themed GIF titled "You PC Bro?" to the /r/southpark^[3] subreddit (shown below).
