Topic: Creating a tag for slurs/extreme harsh language

actually the term is ableist, not ablistic

I told you I didn't know enough about it to speak confidently, haha. I tried to cover my ass and STILL got it wrong. :)

but i got some examples of ableist language: for example usage of ableist slurs (for example cr*pple or r*tard), talking about how someone is lesser / inferior / subhuman for being physically or mentally disabled, mocking someone for not not being able to perform certain tasks because of their disability and stuff like that

Thank you!

That's exactly what I mean.

Hmm... I'd presume use/mention of Asperger/Autism/as*b*rger etc as a slur would also count. (Of course it would, but I'm mentioning this now so that if anyone wants to pitch a fit, they can)

Thinking about it, we should also include:

  • Homophobic slurs

homophobia language
transphobic slurs
transphobic language
