I think the suggestion to have a nice posewith a nice setting is not "politically correct". I think its motivated by the desire to have a quality photo. For example, if all of your family photos are of the backyard BBQ that may be ok for some people, but some people enjoy a group photo in front of a nice background where everyone is wearing nice clothes and looking the same direction with a smile on their faces. If that's not your preference, that's ok but it is assumed that most people want a photo they can be proud of, for it's photographic quality, not because of the quality of the deer in the photo.
