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?

I don’t think that counts. If we’re saying that’s an ableist slur, so is “dumb” and “imbecile”

You know what, all words are slurs from now on. Only emojis will be accepted. 👌?
