I dunno, I've just noticed little comments and things here and there on Chapo and TrueAnon for example that kinda gives me the impression that they either don't take the subject seriously or don't care.

People grow in hostile environments sometimes, me for example, I grew up with kids that would throw around ableist slurs like it was nothing (And some of them still do, despite being in their late 20s). It takes a lot of time and work to de-construct yourself from these manners, from these learned behaviours, so it's not surprising to see that some lefties just can't leave them behind.
Those who don't use ableist slurs and recognize it's importance must teach those who do not to do it anymore. Sankara said something like that, right? Teach teach and keep teaching.
True. I try not to be overly harsh on people that slip up, because we all have different circumstances. Good on you to do better so early in your life.
