You need to be more specific, because it sounds like you are looking for excuses to use words you probably shouldn’t be using.
I’m not looking for excuses to use words that I shouldn’t be using lol. Referring to my previous post on a similar topic (https://lemmygrad.ml/post/508144), say the term “Debian” was used metaphorically, such as describing someone or something as “Debian”. That would often come across as bigoted. Now, I’m not denying that it’s bigoted, I’m just wondering why.
Debian is a variant of Linux. What other use have you found, because now I am curious.
I just used a placeholder in this post to avoid using any actual terms that could be construed as offensive.
I’m gonna be blunt here, your refusal to use real examples is sus at best
What exactly is it that you want to say
How is that ableist? It was “coined” by Horatio Nelson who himself was blind in one eye and ignored an order from his superior officer by raising a telescope to mockingly “look” at the signal flags of his superior’s ship while saying that he quote, “had the right to be blind sometimes”.
If you’re in circles where people are preformitively picking apart every single phrase known to man then the answer is ignore it.
This sort of thing almost 98% of the time happens online. No one is going around real life and getting mad at people saying phrases like that, unless said phrases include slurs or are egregiously racist, sexist, etc.
