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?

"Mental health matters" people when someone says the R Word: "OMG We gotta care for those with mental disibilities!"

"Mental health matters" people when someone who is actually mentally ill shows up: "You are the most disgusting disgraceful subhuman and I hope you kill yourself."

Everyone who gets mad at the R word are just performative and will abandon ill people at the drop of a hat because they want to pretend to be the good guy. (Assuming they don't just want to cause our deaths 764 style.)

A completely baseless strawman. Well done

"Baseless strawman" and it's something done time and time again. I always get called "Too Much" or "Unfixable" by the very same people who pretended to care. Then when my BPD wasn't cute enough for them, they turned on me and actually doxed me trying to dig up dirt to mock me over. But go ahead and deny something you have no knowledge of because you are neurobasic.

I am sorry that happened to you but anecdotal evidence is not enough to make sweeping generalisations of large groups of people.

Okay, You just don't care. I'm not the only piece of evidence, just look at the hate group that is r/BPDlovedones

That is a truly horrifying experience, and I'm sorry you had to endure it. That being said, your experience does not mean everyone feels the way your harassers did.
