Shut up lol. People say they are offended by the way the word is being used so they ask niggas not to use it. Most people eventually ease it out of their vocab and then you have the edge lords who wanna keep using it because it’s seen as offensive. Cycle as old as time

This is the ignorant persons rebuttal to any nuanced point about language
dumb is an ableist term
I hate it when UK gets involved in any discourse. Y’all really think we care about what words mean to you
tbh i get why people could get upset over the use of the word “crazy”, so i’ve tried to replace it in my vocabulary with “wild” lately

I already explained pretty well how this causes more problems. You’re elevating the negative context around it and making it more painful when more people hear it. Allowing it to become harmless slang like dumb, moron, and idiot causes less pain long term.
I could actually get into the history of the word dumb and explain to you how it hasn't been an ableist slur/term in the US since I believe the 1940s.
But it's just much easier to call you a dumbass because you genuinely believed that was a logical retort, and you're only doing all this cause you're that pressed to be able to say ed
so basically, “dumb” used to be an ableist slur until whenyoubeattheslurallegstions.jpg
what? does that not make sense to you?
same thing with “lunatic”

People say the same thing about the n word
And who are you to tell the people who the slur is targeted at how to feel about it?
They say they don’t like the word and ask niggas not to use it.

Yeah it’s almost like socially we can do this with more words until they’re no longer harmful. What a concept.
Y’all really just wanna say the word cause it’s seen as offensive
This is my first time hearing this word considered offensive, it’s not like Lizzo was being an edge lord
Fun fact Obama is the one who made the r word not cool, he made it stop being a medical term in like 2010
Nah calling fat folks “size people” is mad behavior

Nah calling fat folks “size people” is mad behavior

Nah calling fat folks “size people” is mad behavior

I’m talking about the R word. Not spaz.
I’ve only ever heard the word spaz used as like “oh he spazzed on the verse”
People say the same thing about the n word
And who are you to tell the people who the slur is targeted at how to feel about it?
They say they don’t like the word and ask niggas not to use it.
The n word has a much different history and the negative context around it almost impossible to get over. It’s in a totally different ballpark.

lmao wait it was a medical term
Damn 3 posts in a row telling him he can’t read
You can’t even delete your post after that

it’s almost as if the internet has connected billions of people globally since then & this concept is no longer possible because the only reason those slurs became commonly used is because the people the slurs targeted couldn’t defend themselves in large numbers
