    I see what you’re saying, but it’s also good and fun to point and laugh at tankies/conservatives/fascists and call them stupid.

    Sure, its a little ableist but it’s worth it, and nowhere near the r word. (As a person with fairly severe ADHD and probably a bit of autism in there somewhere since u probably care)

      You being neurodivergent doesn’t mean you can decide when ableism is or isn’t okay. The rules of this community are pretty clear about not allowing ableism.

      Unrelated, but if being ableist is the only way you can criticise a group of people then maybe you just shouldn’t.

      In that case the original meme was indeed using ableism:

      1. st panel: Look at how I’m being r–word
      2. nd panel: wow fuck off r-word
      3. rd panel: haha joke’s on them I was only pretending

      It was used to tell off trolls and other online pranksters.

      Ableism isn’t justifiable. Someone being a “just” victim doesn’t make it okay. As for if the sounds in question are problematic or not I can’t say I know for sure.
