    Not here to comment on the whole whether its a slur or not thing because thats just way too much throwing shit at eachother for me but the other thing i saw was that people called the ones using it ableist… For most people(including me) who use/have used it, the word didnt mean anything when they were growing up, just a bit harsher version of idiot. Almost, if not all places you would use it also work with idiot. If you use it in that way then to the people who believe its ableist, why would an ableist call themselves a learning disability. Also do you believe the word should be erased completely from usage or what? I just dont understand the whole thing. Also in that case could people who count as one use it? Or is that also ableism?


  • No,… just no. This actually offends me a lot. My opinions on individual excellency and its role in science dont really have much overlap with any political agenda and whatever. Especially as a privilidged cishet white male i feel a lot of moral pressure to be as accepting as possible. Instead of engaging with the discussion and saying “i believe more in individualism”, which would be fine, you had to throw arround character critiques. But enlighten me if im not a feminist, which i like to believe i am, but a misogynist.
