As a disabled person, I face ableism and ableist language every day. Some people use ableist language without even knowing that it is ableist. I thought it would be good for folks to take a look at the attached BBC article and expand their perspectives a bit.

I find the word "ableist" offensive. Also the words, "it" and "this".

So you're openly a bigot, really something to be proud of. πŸ™„πŸ™„

You're a sanctimonious child.

How many fucking accounts do you have that I need to block.

I don't care if you block me. Just do it and shut up.

This is a shitty take. Have more respect instead of trying to dismiss people with shitty quips.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it's not. You have decided that we aren't allowed to use word that you find offensive but that you don't have to not use words that we find offensive. You're a sanctimonious navel gazer. We're going to ignore you now.

I ask you read my post, because you incorrectly assumed my position just because I told you to behave better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I ignored your request because I don't give a fuck what you think.

[–] Guns4Gnus 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, so, you only care about what you think, and don't care about what other people think...

Jesu, gods, do you ever look like an entitled twat with that opinion.

I believe that I've put forward my own desire for understanding, as well as my own perspective to try and be understood. If you do not wish to achieve understanding, or to help me understand you, then there's no discussion to be had. All you're doing is hurling insults.
