“We need to start treating ableist slurs as seriously as we treat other forms of hate speech. Disabled people don’t deserve to be mentally abused on behalf of something you don’t deem “that serious.” Ableist slurs are very serious.”
Ableism infiltrates all our minds, some just don’t care enough about the harm it causes (even if it’s to themselves) to unlearn it.
Don’t worry, the leopards he’s defending will soon eat his face, they always do.
