        Better to mock him for the terrible things he’s chosen to do than the thing he and others haven’t chosen but have to live with.

        Weaponized ableism is still ableism, my guy.

        It’s like saying it’s cool to be misogynistic to JK Rowling cause she’s a TERF and like, no, it fucking isn’t.

          Is it cool? No. Is it deserved? Also no, no one deserves that.

          Am I still gonna call her a stupid cunt? Yes. Yes I am.

          You must be fun at parties. The heavy cringe “my guy” really sealed it for me. If I have a disability can I goof on it? Are we allowed to talk about what makes each of us different with a sense of humor in any context?

            Be an asshole if you want. Just know that people aren’t gonna let you pretend you’re not hurting people by saying that.

            If you can’t find a way to be funny without punching down, you’re just not very funny. Confusing uncomfortable chuckles for genuine mirth is understandable, if it’s all you’ve ever heard.

            Edit: lol at the edit

                  I think you could fairly easily find a way to tease out a problematic aspect of pretty much any joke or meme. Then doing so allows you to project moral superiority and feel a win, whatever gets you off bud. Imma keep it silly.
