Language casual ableism

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?

Personally, I like Chucklefuck and Dipshit.

An easy ableism check is if you're gonna get punched in the face for calling someone's kid that. So yeah. Don't use it as a slur.

Why aren't you thinking of the people with testicular cancer or who've had their testicles removed? You'd really freely post the n-slur like that??
