Report all you want. This is not getting taken down. Fuck nazis.
An ableist is someone who discriminates against people based on disabilities.
which they did, by using an ableist slur, as have you.
Wait, do you think the word “disability” is a slur? As someone with a disability, that’s… just unnecessarily confusing. A slur is a word so ingrained with malice that even someone saying it without harmful intent causes real harm. It takes a LOT to make a word that volatile. There are some things I can’t do, abilities I am disassociated with, disabilities. The issue isn’t that they exist, it’s with the cultural acceptance that they exist, and that I have to do things differently from some others to meet my needs. Trying to govern the word just makes it harder to do that, like you’re trying to sweep them under the rug. I mean, what am I supposed to call myself that someone would understand if I can’t say I’m a person with a disability?
Wait, do you think the word “disability” is a slur?
No, I never said anything of the sort.
Ah, alright, my mistake. That was the only word in the phrase “An ableist is someone who discriminates against people based on disabilities.” that I could have seen as being construed as a slur. What word was it that you would say is a slur, then?
Ah, I see. Sorry, I thought they were highlighting that particular part of their comment to draw attention to the slur itself. I suppose that could be construed as a slur, though I do feel as though it’s more often associated with someone who COULD be smarter and more open-minded, but chooses not to be. Maybe it’s a bit pedantic, but I think it’s important that, while we don’t make fun of people for what they are unable to do, we absolutely DO make fun of people for what negative actions they CHOOSE to do. Is there a good word for someone like Nick Fuentes, who is unintelligent not due to a disability, but due to their own bad choices that should be shunned? I’m thinking “ignorant” but that doesn’t seem to have the same oomph.
