The harmful ableist language you unknowingly use (www.bbc.com)

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.

You literally said "they" were from hexbear and then "they" in the next sentence. Use proper English if you don't want to imply what you implied

"They", as in the three or four members of the brigade. Or, the gender neutral "they", whatever.

I was actually referring to multiple people. Not everything is about you.
