We probably wont convince you in these comments, but using someone’s condition as an insult to someone else can definitely hurt them. It can seem like an unimportant issue when it doesn’t directly affect you. I remember as a kid, I had friends with disabled family members who got really upset when others used the r-word. When it affects you directly it becomes a lot more clear.

fuck off, you don’t get to hop on a high horse here. you don’t get to turn it around when you’re straight up refusing to reflect on your own behaviour. i’m sure you think you’re being very clever, but i can guarantee what you’re doing right now is such common bigot behaviour that the people in this thread see right through it.

you feel like you should be allowed to use a slur. extremely weird, but alright. the people around you will, however, react accordingly. you’re not special.
