maybe this is a swing at a hornets nest but watching people go down the pipeline of 'reclaiming slurs' to just calling people the r word as an insult again and bite at the bit for any extra slurpoints they can 'reclaim' in this manner has been insane to watch as an autistic person i cant lie
you guys recognize the point of reclamation is to hand the power to those abused by the system to define this identity thrust upon them in a positive way or find comradere in it right. like you calling someone online the r-word is not reclamation you are just feeding into the very system a lot of us were harmed by and it feels like if you mention that u get called sensitive. like we have made a full loop of the ouraborus the snake is eating its tail as we speak
okay adding it because its been said a few times now:
yes guys i also dislike the term 'neurospicy' i find it infantilizing too but you really need to step back and pause before u say shit like 'id rather be called the r-word than neurospicy' and consider that is not a position from which many disabled ppl specifically ppl with learning disabilities would agree with you. and that one word is just kind of ass and the other one has a history of institutionalized violence and oppression. please.
