I said “energy” as in being apart of an oppressed group and dismissing harmful language based on being part of the group doesn’t dismiss the harm of the language. I could’ve made that more clear, but one can make a comparison in part without it being about the whole.
We have to be more careful. I'm not completely dismissing your opinions on ableist language, but I believe that when we try to use other communities to explain ourselves we need to respect their struggles first.
I can see that. I guess it was the first and biggest example of using personal opinions on a matter of hate that I thought of.
Was not trying to play oppression olympics. Could have used numerous other examples or just explained myself instead using a comparison there. Thank you
The reason I brought it up is because I’m also trying to rid myself of this language and it would be good for all of us to reinforce the idea that we shouldn’t use it, but I guess a lot people see no problem with words like “insne and crzy.”
I don’t know if we ever need to be lenient on slurs. I guess I was lenient in my og comment. Asking them to please not use it, but that got downvoted so I wanted to bring it to the communities attention that we shouldn’t use those slurs. I reinforced the positive frame that they can do it.
Where as if someone were to use other slurs I would probably tell them to fuck off because everyone knows not to do that. I find it uneasy that people don’t see the harm of ableist language or maybe it’s just people don’t like being told they’re hurting others and they need to change in order to stop that harm.
Oh I get what you’re saying. Yeah I would agree an instaban isn’t needed, more if a mod sees it or it gets flagged send them a warning or temp ban. Good call.

I still don't understand what was your need to type a racial slur.
There was no need for me to do that. I was writing as a quote that I’ve seen in numerous headlines. I apologize and edited.
