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.
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.
