Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick named the bill one of his legislative priorities after Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, stopped playing the anthem before home games.
isn’t it a bit to far to consider calling others crazy a form of ableism? I understand that the intention behind its use is to offend, but I don’t think it’s reason enough to receive an admin warning.
I really don’t like it, as its a personal attack that’s easy to rely on for lazy trolls who don’t want to describe why they disagree with something. I know its not a DSM classification or anything but its still used to demean people with mental disabilities.
Yeah he thinks people who don’t agree with his political views aren’t “normal human beings”. The implication presumably being thst they hsve some kind of mental disorder. The abelism is clear if you have that context.
Okay. I didn’t know that this instance defined calling people crazy as ableism. I’s not defined as ableism any other place so I hope that the admins have a bit of leniancy on their instance specific rulings.
Calling others tankie scum or authoritarian defenders for a month or two is not exactly normal civil behaviour. None of the people that criticised you ever needed to use slurs against you to make their point.

@soferman@lemmy.ml does that all the time, he doesnt need to the specific word “crazy” to do it.
