Dude, I'm about as left leaning as it gets. The mental illness comments mentioned in the article, sure, that's kind of problematic. But statements that are literally just expressions that have been used for probably half a century or more like "falling on deaf ears". Gimme a break. Find something actually a problem to focus on, like the climate crisis, or the Assault on trans rights in the U.S.
They're trolls from Hexbear. They like to label us as ableist and bigots because it makes them feel superior.
It was actually two separate points. First, a troll brigade (unrelated to the screen shot.) Second, projection, using the ableism argument to try to make yourselves seem morally superior (illustrated by the protection in the screenshot.)
I'm sorry I confused you. I'll try to keep each comment to a single, simple idea from now on.
"They", as in the three or four members of the brigade. Or, the gender neutral "they", whatever.
I was actually referring to multiple people. Not everything is about you.
