The D word will be as offensive as the N word': The term 'disabled' is insulting.

[Flarelaine]

"Able" is a verb. As in being able to do something.

Nope, that's an adejective. If it was a verb, I could tell you how I abled the other day.

Old article?

Daily Mail?

Oh man sign me up lol.

[Flutterguy]

Any way we can squeeze a D-word in the middle of that so we can call it AIDS?

[Zero3]

Well pretty sure if i call someone homosexual instead of gay they will see it as me being agresive or insulting ( because why else wouldn't i call him/her gay? )

[Mister Cheese]

This sounds like OP is overreacting to what one person said - it's funny that these kind of outraged people like the OP bring more attention to something stupid someone said because it ticks them off.

You really like putting words in people's mouths.

I'm sorry, are you arguing with me or yourself?

Old article but..

[Villentretenmerth]

I like the term "retarded" more. People aren't disabled... I disable a fucking Skyrim Mod, you can disable things but not people!

Genius plan. I'm sure the words "Access Inclusion Seekers" people are gonna catch on quick. Almost nobody I have ever met has ever considered someone with a "D*********" someone who should be mocked and ridiculed because of said word.

Sorry, but disabled isn't as bad a word as 'N****R'.

[Nerovar]

I think we can all agree that the real problem is the word 'GAMER' (hard 'r'). We prefer people of play.

How did we come to this? PC cannot be allowed to flourish unchecked or this is the sort of mad world we will inherit.

Unless you're an SJW, context is everything. That's my stance. In the same way I'm not upset if a friend says fuck you or calls me a faggot, because I know they're just messing around, I'd be offended/upset if someone was being hateful to me and using the same words. TBH the same should apply to all words (yes, even nigger [Inb4 I'm reported for using it AS AN EXAMPLE]).

PS: Wanna know how to make words have less power? Stop focusing on the word and focus on the context. If someone is singing song lyrics and said lyrics have 'nigga/er' in them, do you really think that's intended hate speech? If so, you should grow thicker skin.

We are not going to throw out medical terms like this because people are angry it applies to them. It serves a practical purpose.I get it if your broken it fucking sucks but hey thats life.

"Disabled" isn't a medical term. It's just regular English.

Does it matter?

You instantly know what I mean with the word why would I exchange it for a more cumbersome and unwieldy version of it?

[Every Pwny]

It really depends on the person, any word can be as or more offensive, it's all in how the person being offended takes it.

[Yadryonych]

That Mayor seems to be mentally disabled in a big way

[Donald Hellscream]

Well I find access inclusion seekers offensive, because it makes them sound like attention seekers.

[Mormolyce]

Does it matter?

?

You brought it up?

[melodramocracy]

We get it, someone’s offended. Who gives a shit.
