Still cant get over the fact that someone went into my comments and tried to argue it was okay for able bodied people to use cripple so they could be taken seriously when talking to a doctor about how serious their condition is.
And at the same time when told repeatedly that it's a slur it was "even if its widely *considered* a slur....but in my opinion it isnt..."
When someone tells you something is a slur that's not a opinion and you should fucking listen instead of continuing to defend its misuse because when something is a slur it's a fucking fact. Words arent just considered slurs.
"Debilitating and disabling dont have the same weight-" YES THEY DO. THOSE ARE LITERALLY THE WORDS CRIPPLE DESCRIBES AND A DOCTOR US MORE LIKELY TO LISTEN IF YOU USE MEDICAL TERMS AND SOUND EDUCATED INSTEAD OF THROWING A SLUR FOR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AROUND.
How is it so hard to understand
If you tried to apply these arguments people make to defense of the use of the n word it would be so shitty and maybe then they would hear how fucked they sound
"Maybe people consider it a slur but I dont believe it is" how the fuck can you be that ignorant.
Why is cripple an okay slur to use and take away from the people it's used against trying to reclaim it?
One more ignorant comment on my post like this and I am going to rage.
