As a disabled person, I face ableism and ableist language every day. Some people use ableist language without even knowing that it is ableist. I thought it would be good for folks to take a look at the attached BBC article and expand their perspectives a bit.

People love having someone to feel superior to, that's all it is. Some want to keep their oppressive language especially when they find out it's harmful to others.

How is the phrase falling on deaf ears oppressive. Am I living in opposite world now where that's a slur people use to try to intimidate someone?

They're trolls from Hexbear. They like to label us as ableist and bigots because it makes them feel superior.
