Using ableist slurs is not being overly sensitive. It’s using a condition many people are born with as an insult so someone. It’s essentially putting them down as less-than.
This isn’t going to be tolerated no matter how you spin it. There’s thousands of other words one could use in its place, Be creative.
It is absolutely NOT tolerated here. Regardless of where else it is. And calling people “dipshits” because they disagree with your perspective that ableist slurs should be allowed because an ignorant old man uses them….
Yeah… This is not the hill you want to die on.
