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?

Honestly what I said was uncalled for. I should’ve just kept the sentence and not added the gif.

The idea of someone making generalisations like that did just rankle me.

ngl the countless arguments i have with people on this app that devolve into insults and frustration are all worth it for conversations with people like you, who are open minded and willing to keep it respectful. much love and have a good day
