As a disabled person, I face ableism and ableist language every day. Some people use ableist language without even knowing that it is ableist. I thought it would be good for folks to take a look at the attached BBC article and expand their perspectives a bit.

"They're from an instance I don't like!!!1!"

... Shows screenshot proving they're not

It was actually two separate points. First, a troll brigade (unrelated to the screen shot.) Second, projection, using the ableism argument to try to make yourselves seem morally superior (illustrated by the protection in the screenshot.)

I'm sorry I confused you. I'll try to keep each comment to a single, simple idea from now on.

You literally said "they" were from hexbear and then "they" in the next sentence. Use proper English if you don't want to imply what you implied

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"They", as in the three or four members of the brigade. Or, the gender neutral "they", whatever.

I was actually referring to multiple people. Not everything is about you.
