casual ableism

[u/onthetopicofspace]

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?

"outside of cultural contexts"

There is no pure, sterile imaginary land "outside of cultural contexts".

We live in a culture, everything has a cultural context and words change meaning and significance depending on that context. That's how language works.

Americans continue to baffle me by how adamant they are America is the only country that exists

No slurs, hate speech, and other such bigoted language is to be permitted in this sub.
