What about the bumbling secret service agent accidentally shooting him in response to Oswald’s first shot?

None of the words he listed are “slurs”, despite how much some people want them to be. They are just normal insults.

I’m autistic and if someone called me stupid I would probably be mad at them, but I wouldn’t consider it ableist. Unless the conversation has enough context that they’re using the word in reference to that.

Using “re[dacted]” or “autistic” as a stand in for words like stupid or dumb are ableist. Using stupid and dumb to attack someone for their mental disability is ableist. But stupid and dumb themselves aren’t.

Latinx is fucking stupid. It makes no sense in either English or Spanish.

Latin equis? That sounds like something a stupid white anglo came up with without even thinking about how it would sound in Spanish.

Latinos is already gender neutral. But if you think that’s too male oriented at least use something that sounds good, like latines.

Both the prosecution and the defense. They have to agree on all the jurors afaik.

Isn’t it purposefully using older romanization to match the time period?

it wouldn’t make sense to use it for the future unless your only source of geography is hoi4

That’s exactly it. HOI4 isn’t particularly wrong to use the spelling since it’s contemporary. But whatever idiot made this doesn’t know anything else about the region.

Edit: or maybe they think Pinyin is some evil communist invention and that a restored republic would use old, western made spellings because CCP bad.
