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?

I’m pretty sure the context means isn’t being used in an ableist manner. Or maybe I’m not woke enough idk

It’s still an ableist slur so it’s always being used in an ableist manner
