I know there's the wrong-headed calling out of Black Witch and a few others by morons on Twitter. But I don't think that counts. We hear about those because they stand out. And even liberals like me think that behavior is a problem. And the fact that the book is selling well and currently has 71% 5 star ratings on Amazon tells me that the campaign failed.

I wouldn't say that extreme PC is taking over, but there are certainly a lot more of extreme PC books. I read mostly SF&F YA books (plus a few that I remember from when I was a kid, like Encyclopedia Brown). I've heard that some of the non SF&F books tend to be more extreme, but I haven't bothered to check for myself.
