Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

#I was often called slurs in my youth #mostly due to my appearance and the fact that my mom is of côte d'Ivoire descent. Apparently #her skin color didn't suit my classmates.#also #me being 'mentally unwell' and 'weird' led to some... stuff #like the r slur being thrown at my face.#I hated being a teen with a burning passion.#And I wish it didn't trap me in a bubble of self hatred for so long #slurs are not just words #they're the worst way you can define a person #by reducing them to something you want them to be : other. Weird. Unworthy of respect and human decency.#In other words #I don't tolerate that kind of shit anymore #first time I punched a guy and taught him some judo was when he called my mom the n slur #Never regretted it.
