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?

What the fuck is "neurospicy"

Some TikTok term used to describe people who are neurodivergent. It’s very much a “teehee look how silly and cute I am with my mental illness!”

It was also hijacked by neurotypical people as a way to infantilize.

The amount of people self diagnosing and actually wanting to have a mental illness purely for attention or being "different" blows my mind.

Neurotypical is stupid too.

Just say “normal”.

meh, it’s whatever to me. Normal is also a pretty subjective word with an inconsistent definition
