Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.
That’s a good point, but do those handicapped people actually identify as ‘lame’? I feel like you guys are really trying to find a reason to not use certain words because there might be one person in your country that’s maybe offended by it. Imo, most people (handicapped or not) aren’t really offended by most words, except straight up derogatory terms (N-Word being the obvious one).
I don’t think any of the admittedly few people in wheelchairs I know would be offended by my usage of the word ‘lame’.
