goodreasonnews asked: Thanks for taking a stand there. "Retarded" is a term that dehumanizes, however unintentional, good people with disabilities and makes the people who say it and the people who hear it a little shittier for having to draw the comparison between the disabled and jerks. Besides, there are so many good words to use to describe a jerk. Douchenozzle, d-bag, asshat, assclown, assface, assbutt, jerkstore, jerktoad, smooth-brained oxygen thief, knuckle-dragger, fartknocker, farteater, bunghole, dipshit,

I have disabled friends and family, but even if I didn’t, I would recognise that abelist language is wrong, because I’m just a decent person.

Don’t be an asshole, check your priviliges and your language.

And it’s really not that hard to use different words. Come up with some of your own, even.
