big fucking difference between a slur and ablest language. Sure ablest language is bad, but there is a reason you recognize and are not saying the R-slur when describing it. I hope one day we recognize ablest language and stop using it, but we are still working on getting people to stop using slurs
Jokes on them I already do try to avoid using ableist language. But as you point out there is a difference between ableist language and a slur and this all or nothing mindset is completely useless.
While I may personally avoid using stupid to describe people and will typically use it to describe actions and decisions rather than people, it’s impossible to expect that of others and a better use of time to focus on the word that’s an actual slur
