#r slur.

songs be so fine then boom. r slur

[creature-wizard]

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

[bloodanddiscoballs]

The thing about the r slur is that people who are using it again are indeed using it as a slur. This isn't a word that is being reclaimed. This is a word that is once again being used 100% as a slur. You're being a bigot if you're using it against others. Straight up. There isn't another argument to be made. Knock it tf off.

[psychotic-tbh]

Stop saying…

“Psychotic/Schizophrenic” when you mean: unpredictable, unhinged, unreal, etc.

“Bipolar” when you mean: polarized, scattered, fickle, unstable, etc.

“Delusional” when you mean: unrealistic, unreasonable, close-minded, stubborn, etc.

“[insert “R” slur in relation to intellectual disabilities]” when you mean: unreasonable, unintelligent/ridiculous, childish, etc.

“OCD” when you mean: particular, neat, overbearing, etc.

“Narcissistic” when you mean selfish, abusive, manipulative, etc.

Note: I’m NOT saying that these are synonymous. This is also not an exhaustive list.

Can we please not make fun of people's triggers in fucking 2024 are we not tired of needless cruelty against mentally ill people. "how do you live in real life" Surprise surprise they don't. They're the people you walk past with disgust when they're shaking in fear outside the restaurant. They're the people who scream out loud when a baby cries. They're the people who go into the fetal position in the store if Bohemian Rhapsody starts playing. Maybe if you treated these people with more respect when you saw them in real life, the people you say are tweaking or snicker and mentally note as freaks or retarded, you wouldn't be pushing more of this cruelty on others online

The Ryoko Kui interview's reception is such a disaster over a pretty normal (yet still flawed) interview between a non-Japanese fan and Japanese artistic. This is discourse for discourse's sake, and it's no surprise that almost every Twitter user I've looked at who's using this interview to parade Kui around as a goated mangaka standing strong against Western ideology is anti-trans.

Like, I do think the interview was kinda wonky with its focus on fandom culture, which Kui clearly didn't have much interest in. But sometimes that happens. Sometimes interactions between two people, especially a fan and a creator, two people who view and interact with a piece of media in completely opposite perspectives, don't click. Does this really need to get blown up into a "West vs. East culture war" issue.

Anyways, Kui saying "I don't consider my audience's interpretations when writing. I leave it to their imaginations, but I have my own read on things too" is the healthiest, most normal thing an artist/writer who wants a non-parasocial audience could say. Artists and writers use this line all the time. If Kui didn't enjoy autistic Laius or Farcille headcanons, she would have probably voiced/signalled her discomfort, like she did on the topic of Senshi fanservice. Overall, Kui handled the interview really well. Props to her to sticking to her guns and keeping a healthy disconnect from the fandom. While I think the interviewer could've/should've been more tactful and restrained, the flaws in their questions is not a symptom of the woke mind virus trying to wriggle its way into the pure Japanese psyche. It's the sign of an over-eager fan who sees a piece of fiction differently than its creator.

I think a fair number of (able-bodied) people don’t understand that cripple is a slur. It’s a slur. It’s offensive. Physically disabled people can reclaim it *if they want to*, but they don’t have to. They can be offended by it if they want to as well. Both are valid.

Also, you can reclaim it FOR YOURSELF! You don’t just get to call other people cripples because you decided to reclaim it. That’s personal. Saying “oh, I can say that because I’m physically disabled” only applies if you’re referring to YOURSELF that way. You do not get to tell other people in your community what they should and shouldn’t be comfortable with.

Labour MP, Lauren Edwards, has issued an apology on Twitter this afternoon. I wasn’t entirely sure what it was for so tried to have a look.

Heads up for below, it’s racism and ableism.

It is worth saying before you see what she wrote, while it was posted in 2009, it was still several years after she had started studying her masters degree at the London School of Economics.

Already seen some “Stupid kid” style of defence, and I do not think it holds any ground.

Doing this while sleep deprived and therefore brave.

UNDERNEATH THIS EVIDENCE IS A POLL CALLING FOR THE REMOVAL OF @angry-ar0 FOR REPEATED HARASSMENT (making new blogs to get around blocks) AND APHOBIA

Here are six real posts they made/replied to.

They

- think of aroaces as invasive species

- think aroaces aren’t aro enough to be in aro spaces

-use the r slur repeatedly

- think loveless aros are not real and mentally ill

Check the 5th post to see what they really feel about asexuals. It contains lines such as “I don’t hate ace peoples per say” and “it’s mostly aroaces I can’t stand”

They claim to not be a troll but they clearly are.

DO NOT HARASS ANYONE. BLOCK AND MOVE ON, REPORT. IF YOU ENGAGE I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS INCLUDING FURTHER HARASSMENT OR BLOG REMOVALS
