    are you kidding me

    EDIT: I was confused by her saying ‘post’: I think she’s referring to my usage in the sidenote, which was intended as an example of [slurs towards disabled people that are no longer used], whereas I thought she was saying that I used them casually.

    I don’t think discussing slurs is harmful to society in the same way that using them directly (as an epithet) is.

    Despite this, I understand some people have strongly-negative reactions to seeing them, so I have added a content warning to the section.



  • It’s annoying that the amount the general public cares about schizophrenic people is often less than they care about changing the words they speak.

    sidenotes - CW: R-slur, used non-casually

    This is common with a lot of disability-related terms, I expect this usage to decrease over time similar to how usage of ‘retard’ has.

    I am unsure whether [‘schizophrenic people’ or ‘people with schizophrenia’] is correct here, I am going based off of what I have heard about [‘autistic people’ vs ‘people with autism’] as I could not find relevant information online.
