Tell me you don’t give a shit about disabled people without saying you don’t give a shit about disabled people…
I never mentioned the term “mentally challenged” either (but you clearly know that that’s exactly what those slurs imply), nor did the materials I linked, I was specifically referring to the ableist slurs op did use and provided plenty of context to explain why they are, in fact, ableist.
You not being willing to challenge your bias by even clicking the links I provided, never mind actually considering their content doesn’t change that. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Also not a fucking man, ableist (like, you could have so easily just shut the fuck up, but you decided to out yourself instead, so there it is…).
I agree the meme could do without the “stupid” being thrown around. But I don’t think “idiot” is problematic, even in the articles you linked it says that it means “ignorant person”, and then later goes on to list ignorant among the alternatives to use
…Are you joking? Where in the meme did they refer to “mentally challenged” people? Context, man. Context.
