definitely agree

people say the automoderator on r/latestagecapitalism goes too far with its removal of ableist language (its probably the strictest place ive seen in that regard) and i always saw lots of people railing against it there, but it made me acutely aware of just how much of that sort of language i had internalised and really actually pushed me to be more mindful of what im saying and actively work to avoid using those sorts of terms outside of that sub as well

also now going back and looking at r*ddit non-leftist meme subs etc that i used to kinda like when im bored and how absolutely riddled they are with ableist language that i never actively picked up on previously (among their myriad other faults)

i think its probably the same thought processes as for the pronoun struggle session, of deeply-ingrained reddit-and-south-park-brain in young people in the west (including the western left) and some people (also including leftists) taking it as an outrageous personal attack and pc gone too far etc and making it a weird hill they want to die on that theyre asked to make some minor alterations in their interactions for the sake of not being exclusionary to a particular group of people
