A lot of people have an unexamined relationship with ableism and they get really upset when anyone asks them to question that relationship a little bit.

Yeah it can be hard to confront sometimes. But Ive also seen a lot of bad faith ableist arguments for things like NFTs, Gen AI, ect which I find make me more defensive and it sucks. Working on it though.
Yes, that's why we get " so you think spaghetti is ableist ". They simply can't comprehend the idea of access needs and thus mock the idea of anyone expressing something outside the 'norm'
People are so used to assuming that there cannot possibly be anything wrong with the things they consider Normal, and they so often get angry at the idea that it may not be the case.
