Flanderism (a new word to include in Urban Dictionary) This is a term which is quickly becoming popular in my country, Spain: Flanderism Doctrine based on Ned Flanders' ideas, very similar to political correctness, where an individual or a collective tries to impose his own self-censorship and ideals to the rest of society. Specially visible in the case of certain lobbies like homosexuals, feminists, pro-life activists, anti-racism organizations, and certain charities. A recent example, the supression of all terms considered offensive or homophobe by Gay Gollective, from Google Translator.
