What’s bad faith about that? Seems a completely legitimate question.
The issue here is that it leads to “So why is it ok to use the ableist slur and not ok to use the racist slur.” to which there isn’t really a good answer, and you’re predicting that and pre-emptively running away.
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.
I generally think that particular slur is usually taken more seriously. Most people do not like hearing it. This parody use is one of the few places I still see it and it’s usually among the circlejerk humour crowd.
