Yeah as a disabled person its really fucking frustrating seeing the word used as a cudgel to defend the indefensible like this. Completely takes away the word's power.
I remember seeing a post about a doordash strike and seeing one of the comments like "maybe you guys should reconsider before disabled people who can't drive to the store go hungry because of you"
reminds me of the guy who said that some people had to buy Oreos, even when Mondelez was being a dick during contract negotiations, because they had a tummy ache or IBS or whatever it was. They basically called people ableist for daring to suggest that they eat something other than oreos and sweets which I thought was a hoot.
I think I see “ableism” used in bad faith more often than good these days.
