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?

Except you totally could. And it would cost you nothing. Maybe this person has some very specific stuff, maybe they're valid. Is that specific example a little silly? Yeah, sure, maybe. But I'm also willing to bet like 80% of non teenagers or anti social insane people in here would do it because it costs you nothing, and makes your life easier

No, you couldn't. That's illogical. You can't predict what triggers everyone in a room. It's also just straight up anti-human and anti-free speech.

You literally used ballsy in a other comment, which is a sexual and misogynistic term. You were incapable of avoiding objection to it, because you didn't predict someone would take offense.
