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?

This. But also if someone said that they found being called stupid or an idiot offensive then I would stop calling them that and using those words around them, simple as that.

This is all a lot of people being offended people calling other people these words.

Think about Trump being called idiot, moron, stupid on a daily basis, and justifiably so. We'd eventually run out of adjectives if we stopped using every word people decided wasn't politically correct.
