Using ableist language as insults is always bad, even if the words seem innocuous. Some may reference the “euphemism treadmill” to try to justify their behavior, but it’s crucial to understand that the treadmill is merely a linguistic observation. It does not exist to normalize ableist behavior.
what is the euphemism treadmill for those who dont want to google
Without the context it doesn’t come off as insulting.
oh awesome my bad i will be sure to ignore the context for all further potential ableist issues 🙄 blocked for bad faith and generally being no fun
I’m autistic, adhd, and I had a brain injury. Triple neurodivergent. 🙄
Go ahead and block me, I don’t really care, I think without context you taking offense to calling someone who is gullible “neurodivergent” seems over sensitive. Autistic people in particular unfortunately can be gullible and people abuse that.
block all you want, but they did not say to ignore the context and be happy
eh they’ve been on thin ice for a hot second. rather distasteful behavior all around :(
