    Using ableist slurs on bigots doesn’t actually help. It just increases the amount of bigotry in the world and makes minorities feel even more unsafe. You can’t “target” an ableist slur to only insult the person who deserves it. It inherently attacks the undeserving as well.

      Narcissist isn’t a slur, and narcissism isn’t a disability. It’s a personality disorder. There is a difference.

      Stop spreading misinformation.

      I might be out of touch here, but I’m confused as to what part of that was ableist? Not trying to be an asshole, just trying to figure shit out.

        N*rcissist is a slur against people with NPD. It originates in pop culture with self help scams that told people their abusive friends and family had NPD. Also the etymology of the word begins with a Greek guy who was put to death by the gods for being asexual, so yikes.

            Anyone who thinks a 16 year old deserved to die because he wouldn’t date or sex anyone is probably a pedo.
