    I see what you’re saying, but it’s also good and fun to point and laugh at tankies/conservatives/fascists and call them stupid.

    Sure, its a little ableist but it’s worth it, and nowhere near the r word. (As a person with fairly severe ADHD and probably a bit of autism in there somewhere since u probably care)

      You being neurodivergent doesn’t mean you can decide when ableism is or isn’t okay. The rules of this community are pretty clear about not allowing ableism.

      Unrelated, but if being ableist is the only way you can criticise a group of people then maybe you just shouldn’t.

        Is there an official list of ableist words? Would it be a fluid list where words change meaning over time? I think it would be useful for people who are ignorant of the conventions, especially non native speakers.

      Ableism isn’t justifiable. Someone being a “just” victim doesn’t make it okay. As for if the sounds in question are problematic or not I can’t say I know for sure.
