DEBATE
Controversy: most present in Dutch-speaking media, often used by politicians and artists,

Reactions: decreasing trend in the media;
Consensus on political (in)correctness: positioning of brands?
Criticism on political (in)correctness: mostly present in French-speaking media, increasing

Has a new “anti-consensual” movement happened since the end of 2010?
