Exactly. I asked earnestly because we already know that it wouldn't be okay to use the n-slur in the same context. I want to challenge people to take ableist slurs more seriously.

If you were parodying a racist, would you use the n-slur?

Can we not use r-slur derivatives here please?

I just noticed his name is an ableist pun. Yuck.

I can never tell if the posts here are making fun of or agreeing with the screenshots they're posting, I always have to wait for comments to roll in with context. :(

Didn't we just finish telling off people on Blahaj zone for making ableist comments like this?

I think you misunderstood me.

This is a very rude response. I did recognize the other song, and asked a clarifying question. Not respecting people who communicate in different ways is kind of ableist.

I recognize and agree that it is a drop in the ocean, but that itself is indicative of how big the issue is and that we should be taking the problem seriously.

I understood the reference, but I don't understand what you meant by it. This song would certainly be played on the radio in the kinds of small towns that the other song is talking about.

I don't see why being sarcastic about it is warranted. I feel like being dismissive of the song's reach is a bad thing: it means we are underestimating our adversaries.

I wouldn't say "oh, only a few people are doing that" if Nazi flyers started appearing in my town, for example.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.
