PC? Politically correct? I don't think we really need to go down that road.

Are you sure it's not the opposite? Couldn't it be that people are trying to take a term that originated in anime circles and adapt it to real life? This term was in use in anime circles when I was a child, so it's at least 30 years old. Quote: "It's a trap because it looks just like a girl". I didn't even know it was used in other social circles until you brought it up and I was exposed to a lot of slang when I was young. And I can't find any similar definition for the word on Wikipedia or any dictionary. I would assume any mainstream use it's getting is only recent.
Anyway, this is apparently the reason Danbooru changed the tag to otoko_no_ko. By doing so, they avoid disputes like this regarding it's meaning.
