I’m Autistic for the record

I wouldn’t pejoratively call a mute person dumb, a mobility device user lame, or an intellectually disabled person retarded

but I will absolutely call cringe political fanatics lame, dumb retards

also here’s some free fag-passes from your friendly internet dyke, cuz “fag” is a great fuckin multipurpose word

This is like saying “When I say ‘that’s gay’, I don’t mean gay as in homosexual, I mean gay as in stupid”.

I mean thank you, I remember I got banned from a group like 10 years ago because I said the forbidden F-word, they all knew I was pan and trans, but apparently my N-Word Pass expired?

Can’t say the t-word either, I remember before it was a pejorative it was more like a cute nickname.

We call Republicans hard R’s in our house… it just fits.

Brian Posehn has a great bit about it in his 25x2 special.
