[“If you remove the ’re’ then ‘tard’ isn’t offensive anymore!”

So does removing the 'bas’ make 'go fuck yourself right off a cliff, you ignorant bastard’ less offensive too?]

Somehow, I doubt the answer would be 'yes’.

TRIGGER WARNING FOR ABLEISM LIKE WHOA: This site…This is so unspeakably vile. Here I am, supposed to be in bed, trying to get myself to relax because medication + other medication + overactive adrenaline = buzzing brain, and then I see this in my feed. 

This is why we want you to STFU, allistic people. Because this person–this person who works with these children every day–sees nothing wrong with calling them 'tards’ and ridiculing them on the internet. And I don’t give a flying spiky fuck what their FAQs try to claim, anyone who thinks lumping all children in special classes (some of whom they straight up admit only have behavioral problems) as 'tards’ is in any way acceptable is an ableist rat bastard.

This is what we deal with all the time. This is how the people who are supposed to care for us and help us treat us. Like a big fucking joke. Like we’re not worth trying to understand, we’re just stressful horror shows that you need to laugh at to feel better. This is not an acceptable way to treat human beings. Period.

And really, where do they get off calling other people tards when they try to explain a word from an entomological perspective. Man, but that bugs me.

(I know, I know, I shouldn’t pun, but it’s late and I’m angry and wired and ohhhh–I need to go try to calm down.)
