I just did a quick read of the Wikipedia article on Political Correctness. It's an exhaustive (exhausting?) historical and academic treatment of the term, but I don't see that it's "horrific."
Maybe OP is refering to the Portuguese version (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politicamente_correto) - note that the content is vastly different in the two idioms, it's not a simple translation (the Portuguese one seems FUD to me...)
I'll never forget reading the article on "Political Correctness." It was horrific. Like entering a completely different (hence "dark") Wikipedia. It called PC a "pejorative" word (you know, like a hate word used to hurt someone).
Here in Brazil there's much controversial discussion about this subject ("Political Correctnes" or, in Portuguese, "Politicamente Correto"): many use this term as a pejorative adjective, citing the "Dictatorship of Political Correctnes" (a total nonsense, to me...) when some kind of subtle discriminatory action (that not even the makerrecognizes it...) is spotlighted
