As somebody who has multiple sclerosis and thus the prospect of disability (both physically and mentally), I find this trend worrying.
I have other things to worry about than "bad words",
I could spontaneously loose my vision,
my ability to walk, type, speak, swallow or to breath,
in addition to a variety of cognitive impairments.
What keeps me up at night is wether that tingling in my hand is just because I lay on it
or because my immune system destroys my brain again,
not wether or not somebody used "retard" or "spastic" online.
It makes me sad and angry that people can act and feel as if they've done something for the handicapped
by being offended at some word, while they have literally done nothing to improve the lives of
those affected.
I wish more people would put their time and energy into
improving medicine, wheelchairs & exoskeletons, and social-programs.
- noir_lord 11y agoI have a spinal condition and there is a distinct possibility I'll end up in a wheelchair at worst and crutches at best. I also couldn't give a fuck about retard/cripple or anything else anyone else says, It offends me more that someone would get offended on my behalf as if I need protecting. This mob justice shit is getting ridiculous really fast.
