Using ableist language as insults is always bad, even if the words seem innocuous. Some may reference the “euphemism treadmill” to try to justify their behavior, but it’s crucial to understand that the treadmill is merely a linguistic observation. It does not exist to normalize ableist behavior.
what is the euphemism treadmill for those who dont want to google
Cause that’s what the meme says, I didn’t read the rest of the post. Also I’ve never heard ND used as an insult ever, have you? I didn’t even think the average person was even aware of that word.
alright i completely replaced the meme header. thanks for bringing your misunderstanding to my attention, hopefully this is better.
did you see the parentheses saying (just dont). it’s irony, sorry i’ll see what i can do to edit it.
Yes. Multiple times. I was called it as an insult earlier today. It’s a new thing following the same old patterns unfortunately :(
Damn wow
