A government official known for performing a nazi salute just broadcast an ableist slur.
Cool cool cool
btw do you know why it was decided to treat the r-word as an ableist slur? And why didn't they also make "idiot" a slur, since it has basically the same etymology? Is this a lemmy-specific thing? I've never seen anyone use or interpret the r-word as a slur outside of lemmy
You must not be close to anyone that has any sort of mental illness. It's a very broad and hurtful term. It has been for a long time.
