“We need to start treating ableist slurs as seriously as we treat other forms of hate speech. Disabled people don’t deserve to be mentally abused on behalf of something you don’t deem “that serious.” Ableist slurs are very serious.”
Wow, imagine doubling down that hard, and on to your own community (which they probably consider themselves “too good” for) no less…
Basically licking the abled establishment’s boot in a hope of some crumbs of acceptance, while rejecting and actively shitting on the only people who would ever actually accept them.
Pathetic.
Ableism infiltrates all our minds, some just don’t care enough about the harm it causes (even if it’s to themselves) to unlearn it.
Don’t worry, the leopards he’s defending will soon eat his face, they always do.
