I think that when people (hopefully all of us on this website) work to eliminate ableist language from their vocabulary, they end up with many fewer words to describe certain patterns/behaviors negatively.
Put your favorite non-ableist insult/descriptor in the comments!
I don’t have time now, comrade, but I’ll try to come back later to read and respond to this in detail.

Extremely worthwhile read. This website WILL embrace Comrade Garfield Thought.
What I meant is that I felt like if I tried to outline the idea of identifying ableist concepts in a systematic way without leaning on keywords, that part would be 5 paragraphs instead of the 1 I used by leaning on a keyword. The rest of the comment isn’t to outline that concept but to explain what I view as some issues with the approach of this board. I was definitely being unclear though.
Apologies, I misread that. I do actually think there would be value in those 5 paragraphs, but I understand why you chose to keep the comment more focused on the issues of Hexbear specifically.
FWIW that was clear to me.
