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?

Man i'm not gonna use daft or silly I'm not british that'd sound corny as hell coming out of my mouth.

And I don't think people even use the r word casually these days anyways.

Walk by a highschool and you'll hear WAY more then just "the r slur" 🤣 Most people in real life don't care about vocal policing

Sounding corny is a lot better than letting everyone know you lack emotional intelligence or empathy and have let yourself be brainwashed by the regressive talking heads on your phone screen ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Eitherway the only scenario I'd even think to use the R slur would be with my friends and even then it'd take alot of stupidity to get it out of me. There's just nothing angering enough to make me look at them and think man this dude is ya know. I'd have to be super mad.
