Ableism is a thing
3 years ago

Now with that said, 19-year old twitter users with mild anxiety informing me that the word "idiot" or "moron" are ableist slurs, yes, literally those two, not even just the 'spazgate' scandal rocking American black music, well...
Listen, full disclosure, I'm gonna keep calling people idiots. And morons. And dumbass fuckwitted southerners living in the anus end of nowhere.
And my advice: The disabled people of the world really need to take that word back from the bored 20-somethings of the internet while it still has some meaning. Remember when those same people got a hold of 'woke' from the black community? And then their older, more racist parents and grandparents got a hold of it?
Yeah.

It’s all such a mess isn’t it. So much actual ableism that blights the lives of millions yet huge amounts of energy are utterly wasted fighting imaginary demons on social media. Find it very demoralising sometimes…
