#theres a lot of ppl who are hyper vigilant as to certain types of language and words but then dont examine WHY certain language is ableist

guy that gets all up in arms about using the word retard but who uses a slur against natives in the same breath

#this is not a new type of guy this is twitter leftist infighting. #and somehow happens often enough for me to have seen it twice albeit in different circumstances. #i think the other one was also against using a slur but then used other really ableist language. so like ok. #theres a lot of ppl who are hyper vigilant as to certain types of language and words but then dont examine WHY certain language is ableist #or racist. theyll just repeat the 'dont say that word' and not understand WHY you shouldnt say it. or why you shouldnt say it in certain #circumstances. which leads them to just use other language without realizing how bad it is. #ask to tag #r slur #< jic #angel.txt
