If you’re aware of it, you can’t be that dumb.

This is ableist. Pls take down your post and go inform yourself.

Nice bait

Wait how is this ableist? Is dumb a slur now? Are you trolling? I read the document linked to by the other person and I don’t think it applies to the post.

No, we can’t afford to be above educating people. Leave the post up. Learn from the mistake. Move on.
We all need to learn the things we thought are innocuous are harmful. Otherwise it’s too easy to throw up our hands and says it’s the euphemism tread mill. And we don’t have time to waste on that.

How is this relevant to the post? ‘dumb’ isn’t on the list? I’m honestly struggling to see how the meme is ableist

Common examples of ableist language are words like, “lame,” “dumb,” “retarded,” “blind,” “deaf,” “idiot,” “imbecile,’ “nuts,” “psycho,” and “spaz.”
It is listed on page 1, paragraph 3.

Huh I never knew dumb was ableist, I always thought it referred to a person’s decision making rather than intellectual ability

The fact that they suggest using person first language tells me they aren’t a good source. Identity first language is preferred in lots of neurodivergent circles. If you want to be proper you should really ask the person you are talking to what language they prefer to be used.

why specify gay men?
I didn’t make the meme, I saw it on twitter and thought it was funny in a self deprecating way.
