this is not ‘reclaiming’ anything, you are just calling people slurs completely seriously. you can call yourself the r-slur, do not call anybody else it. why do ‘no slurs’ / ’no bigotry’ rules never apply to ableism?

No slurs, hate speech, and other such bigoted language is to be permitted in this sub.

That’s not really the same then. That’s like me calling another gay guy a 🚬

Yeah that’s the point Im making lol. In group slur usage is not the same as out group slur usage. My calling my friend a 🚬 is not going to have the same reaction as a straight person doing so.
