Honey badger doesn't give a rule! : 196

The biggest problem with the meme is that honey badger don't give a shit. I have a miniature pinscher to achieve theb desired effect. More portable. Chihuahuas are an OK choice but they can sometimes accidentally redirect their fury at you once they are in the zone.

So are you saying the honey badger will attack anyone that comes near me? Because I see that as an absolute win.

Well yeah. They have no qualms with indiscriminate, gratuitous, killing because they don’t care—they don’t give a shit.

I still prefer the emotional support Komodo Dragon. Same concept, more mini-godzilla.

Hmm...I might have to invest in one. XD

Good for them, but oh they're so nasty.

Surely the point could be made without all the ableism..

...Are you joking? Where in the meme did they refer to "mentally challenged" people? Context, man. Context.

Tell me you don't give a shit about disabled people without saying you don't give a shit about disabled people..

I never mentioned the term "mentally challenged" either (but you clearly know that that's exactly what those slurs imply), nor did the materials I linked, I was specifically referring to the ableist slurs op did use and provided plenty of context to explain why they are, in fact, ableist.

You not being willing to challenge your bias by even clicking the links I provided, never mind actually considering their content doesn't change that. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Also not a fucking man, ableist (like, you could have so easily just shut the fuck up, but you decided to out yourself instead, so there it is..).

I agree the meme could do without the "stupid" being thrown around. But I don't think "idiot" is problematic, even in the articles you linked it says that it means "ignorant person", and then later goes on to list ignorant among the alternatives to use
