While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

    All the suggestions here either can be interpreted as ableist or have roots in ableism. I think it shows how quickly the English language turns to prejudices. The only solution is being as specific as possible, but that is less 'insulting' and more 'criticising'

        if you go back far enough "bad" comes from a derogatory term for an effeminate man. removed is obviously worse than something we didn't add to the slur filter but arguing about where the line is gets exhausting almost immediately. i'm not trying to be an ultra i just want to stop moving the dang line every 10 years.

                i never said anything about eliminating the line. I literally used an example that requires there to be a line.
