I think most (if not all) would NEVER insult a person with disabilities. On the contrary, we’d celebrate their every victory - and they usually have many that most of us would be proud to claim as our own.
Of course that’s coming from the perspective of an inmate who was banned for sharing a MC event poster that allegedly had a bit of underboob showing on one of the 2 models standing next to a motorcycle ( I don’t know, I shared it from my phone), banned for sharing a window decal I saw that included a cartoon wilie and finally for posting a cartoon snowman whose carrot nose reminded someone of a caricature penis. Yet I can still say shit, piss, fuck, cunt, motherfucker, cocksucker and tits.
Thank you, George Carlin!
While my immediate inclination is to say that no, I would NEVER insult a person with disabilities, I think I need to confront the fact that by saying and writing things like "trumptard" I am in fact insulting people with disabilities. It's just not the
same disabilities, nor would it be the same possibility or impossibility of those disabilities ever changing. Because a term like
trumptard is not meant to apply to all trump voters or followers but a select cross-section of the most-dedicated and a part of me believes that yeah, being susceptible to such a con is in fact a disability of some kind.
And of course no, I would never insult people with genuine disabilities, at least unless they really went out of their way to deliberately earn the reward, and I was certain that they'd be able to understand the nature of the response. Else why even bother.
These are very interesting times. We have folks caterwauling about "virtue signalling", we have the PC cops, etc. etc. etc. And it has reached a point where people are just looking for a reason to be upset about something. As if we don't have enough to be genuinely upset about already. Then we get platforms that are happy to eagerly accommodate the karens' whims as they go about draining every penny out of their investments.
The most bizarre thing to me is, what happens if a mod Over There says to VS
fuck you this is bullshit? What, they lose their "job"? They take a cut in the enormous pay, health care benefits, retirement package, etc. they receive as moderator?!
