There being a large segment of the public against the use of the r-slur is so old that Black Eyed Peas re-released a song without it over 20 years ago. Blaming petty shit like this on Trump winning isn’t just inaccurate, it’s blaming the people who are going to be harmed most by his presidency for bringing it about.
If you think semantics are so unimportant, then don’t die on the hill of saying slurs.
Using ableist slurs is not being overly sensitive. It’s using a condition many people are born with as an insult so someone. It’s essentially putting them down as less-than.
This isn’t going to be tolerated no matter how you spin it. There’s thousands of other words one could use in its place, Be creative.
It is absolutely NOT tolerated here. Regardless of where else it is. And calling people “dipshits” because they disagree with your perspective that ableist slurs should be allowed because an ignorant old man uses them….
I saw nothing wrong with your original statement.
The movement to ban the “r word” is one of the reasons Trump won. Over sensitivity is creating anger and indignation.
We have bigger battles to fight, everyone. This isn’t the time for semantics. We have enough division without battles like this being waged.

Oh damn, when you can’t say slurs suddenly semantics matter a whole lot? 🤔
Prediction: you are going to remain silent when austerity kills disabled people in the US like it did in the UK

Yeah… This is not the hill you want to die on.
