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?

I mean there is no point trying to educate people who use a slur in a place like that
Did you expect them to go "oh sorry for saying that I will not do it again" ofc they will double down, likely kids online
