#ableist slurs

[hussyknee]

PSA: Please for the love of God stop using the word "cretin". It's a slur for people born with congenital hypothyroidism (CHT, that used to be called cretinism) that causes physical and intellectual disability.

I think it's unrealistic to expect a blanket moratorium on insults about intelligence, but words like "mong/mongoloid" (anti-Asian slur later applied to people with Down Syndrome), "spaz", "downie", "midget" and "cretin" refer to people born with specific developmental disorders. If you care enough not to use the "r–word", please steer clear of these as well.

#please reblog #looking at you RWRB fandom #one of the movie's many crimes is how often I now have to see this word in fics #I'll never forget a mother thanking me for tweeting this a few years ago because her daughter with CHT cries whenever she hears it #ableism #ableist slurs #ableist language #disability #congenital hypothyroidism #down syndrome #dwarfism #spasticity #cerebral palsy #disabled lives matter #intellectual disability #writing tips #rwarb #rwrb movie #knee of huss

Can I request an Aaron Hotchner x autistic!daughter young adult ideally but any age. Or even she’s on the team and he’s a father figure to her because her own is so ableist. My dad is so ableist and I have so much autistic trauma from him even though my autism is from him too. He thinks that gives him even more rights to say whatever he wants to me and bully me even more. I just need to know what it feels like to have a good dad who cares about my autism. Who cares about me ❤️❤️

Aaron Hotchner x Autistic! Young adult reader

Of course I can, I'm sorry you have to deal with that, my parents have trouble understanding my Autism as well but they are getting better. I will write this for you!

Summary: Y/Ns ableist Dad comes to the BAU and starts being an Ableist arsehole to his daughter, her father figure (Hotch) steps in and saves her.

Third Person pov...

It had been 3 years since Y/N L/N joined the BAU, she was 21 when she joined and instantly became the baby of the team and Hotch became her Dad, Y/N is autistic and has sensory issues.

Ever since she was little her father was ablest and would bully her and verbally abuse her saying how her being Autistic meant something was wrong with her and that she needed fixing, the man caused her to have so many meltdowns and sensory overloads that it made others concerned her teachers as school.

He was later arrested for child abuse and was sent to prison, Y/N was then left with her neighbours who were a nice loving family and always liked her but hated her dad and were glad she got away from him after suffering for years, her Mum was out of the picture.

The young girl had so much trauma from her childhood when she joined the BAU that Hotch became her father figure, their relationship helped mend Y/Ns trauma from her bio dad and she was able to live comfortably knowing he wasnt in her life anymore, she was treated with respect and was always told that her autism wasn't a bad thing.

From being with Penelope and Spencer (who are also Autistic) her relationship with her Autism was mended and she was able to be herself, while with her dad she could stim or doing anything 'autistic' but with her new found family she was free to stim and had all her accomedations, if anyone disrespected her or called her weird they would have to deal with an angry Hotch and the rest of the team.

It was a normal day for the team, they weren’t on a case and for once they all got to relax and fill out paperwork, well aside from Hotch and Spencer no one was doing any paperwork, Derek and Emily were sat giggling loudly like children as they kept throwing rolled up pieces of paper at their second youngest member.

The laughter increased as they kept hitting their mark, Spencers head, the genius was none the wiser as a pile of paper was forming around him at their many failed attempts. From the side JJ and Penelope sit and watch as Spencer doesn't realise, opposite the genius sat Y/N she was busy spinning in her chair with her headphones on and watching the scene play out.

She had the perfect poker face for when a paper ball hit Spencer's head, as the children in the bull pen play the two adults Hotch and Rossi where actually getting work done, , well Hotch was at least the Italian was drinking and watching the kids outside keeping an eye on them as someone responsible needed too.

As Y/N continued to spin around her in chair she didn’t hear the heavy footsteps off someone walking up behind her, the H/C woman was suddenly yanked off her chair and onto the hard floor by a man, in the process of being manhandled her headphones when flying off her head.

“What did I tall ya about doing that Girl!” exclaimed a voice that haunted her nightmares, gasping in terror Y/N stared frozen at her Father who was suppose to be in prison, the large man had a sickening grin on his face as he saw the terror in his daughter eyes.

“Yes its me!” he laughed that horrible laugh that had Y/N holding her hands overs her ears, the 21 year old was still frozen on the floor while the others were staring at the scene before them guns raised, by this time Hotch and Rossi had heard what happened and were out of their offices.

“bu-but your supposed to be in jail!” exclaimed Y/N finally finding her voice stuttering, the man looked down at her crumpled form, he then grabbed the front of her blouse pulling his daughter close. “they let me out for good behaviour, did ya miss me!” he semi whispered as Y/Ns face grew a sickening pale white, she scrambled to get away but the man wouldn’t let go instead he raised his hand and slapped her.

Y/N cried out in pain. “you really didn’t think I could be held for long did ya you retard! You really are still a fucked in the head as you were years ago” yelled the man, Hotch had had enough, he rain down thw ramp arms raised, gun in his hands. “Get your hands on hr now, you do realise you just assaulted a federal agent” growled out Hotch as the man teared his eyes away from the shivering form of his daughter.

He spat at Hotch. “your not her father I am, this waste of space in am Agent HA!”!” he laughed again and kicked Y/N hard in the ribs, Penelope gasps tears in her eyes as she witnesses her friend get beaten. Y/N holds in her cries of pain and raises her head from the floor glaring at the man.

“your not my dad you never have been!” she cried tears rolling down her face, the sadistic man smirked at the tears rolling down his daughters face, the sight reminding off when she was a kid and he would verbally abuse her, he had never hit her before now, it felt good.

Her words made him angry. “I am your father retard, though I hate to admit it you share my blood, your as stupid as I remember crying on the floor like the child you are to stupid to do what I say” he goes on on berating Y/N and saying how stupid she was once again verbally abusing her, as he went on his rant Y/N managed to stand up.

She was then pulled behind Hotch, his finger close to pulling the trigger. “you Bastard, you shut the fuck up now, you have crossed the line now get out of my building and away from my Daughter before I pump your body full of bullets!” yelled Hotch threw clenched teeth, he was so close to pulling the trigger instead he stormed up so he was chest to chest with the man and pulled back his fist.

When he lets go his right hand connected with the nose he was satisfied to feel it shatter, a smirk on his face before gesturing to a couple of agents. “now don’t ever come back or I will kill you” Hotches hand was burning but he felt satisfied when Y/Ns Dad freeze before he tsked and stormed out not before calling Y/N the R slur before he was detained by two agents ans forced into handcuffs.

Hotch crossed his arms before turning around to hug Y/N was had collapsed, the stress from her dad coming in draining her, she was then sat at her desk with Hotch hovering around her looking at her injuries, E/C eyes locked on his brown ones.

“Im your daughter” she whispers hoarsely, this made Hotch smile and run his hand through her hair. “of course, you are sweetie” he smiled softly kissing her forehead still smiling when she smiles back.

The end!!

Hoped you liked this oneshot so sorry for the wait! As usual sorry for the grammar and spelling mistake!

Requests are open!

Change your brain to stop reaching for ableist language to describe your world

D*mb, st*pid, cr*zy, ins*ne, and many many more ableist words and phrases still dot our daily conversation landscape. This Disability Pride Month, show you’re listening by doing the work to use language that doesn’t perpetuate ableist culture.

This is a non-exhaustive curated list of terms and suggestions for replacing them in your vocabulary, as well as accompanying notes.

fuck switching blogs this is my main blog now. i was today year's old when i learned warrior cats deadass used "cripple" as a slur.

Sight, The Power of Three, page 204.

tell me this screenshot has been circulated before, please tell me. because holy fucking shit. i need a reboot of warrior cats, with a new fucking team, that can understand that grooming, domestic abuse, verbal abuse, and ableisim are BAD things, actually. because WHAT KIND OF FUCKING CHILDREN'S BOOK IS THIS

this is just un-fucking-acceptable. im disabled and im eighteen, and already upset and pissed off. im barely able to make it through these books, because of this treatment in Power of Three. What kind of messages were being taught to the children, middle school and younger, reading this?

What about disabled CHILDREN reading in real time, seeing and being inspired by Brightheart, to have EVERYCAT including her BROTHERS undermine and disrespect her???

#thornclaw was being judgy and kinda infantizing or at LEAST disrespectful towards Brightheart's first day with Jaypaw #asking her stupid and simple questions and even Jaypaw was like 'wow im not the only cat they act like this with' #and now they're STILL FUCKING DOING IT TODAY #warrior cats ableism #warrior cats #jayfeather #brightheart #ableist slurs #ableism #mika-posts #not-mcyt

You got destroyed by lily orchard and she is more woman then you will ever be retard. You leave kids alone dipshit and stop being g a goddamn wannabee boomer

Hang on, let me get this straight:

A YouTube animation critic screenshotted my post about being disturbed that teens are so accustomed to corporate censorship of language around death, sex, and queer identities- something which, to be clear, I never blamed them for -that they use their workaround terms even on social media that doesn't require it, and called me an "insufferable Boomer." (I looked up who Lily Orchard was because this was so context-free that I genuinely assumed it was copypasta at first.)

The tweet currently has...hang on...3 retweets and 11 likes. So approximately 14 people on Twitter are like. Lightly annoyed at me. People who run in none of the same circles I do, who didn't know I existed yesterday and won't remember me tomorrow.

And that inspires this much vitriol in you?

Huh.

Anyway, I'm going to sew a watch pocket in my favorite skirt now. Have a nice night.

TW: ABLEIST LANGUAGE, ABLEIST SLURS

It's interesting how Daella (Aemma's mother and Rhaenyra's grandmother) and Gael Targaryen (both of them daughters of Alysanne and Jaehaerys) are described in a very similar way to Jaehaera, but no one ever calls them "slow" or "retarded". They never say that it is necessary for them to die young because they could never be functional adults or to have children.

Disabled folks of Tumblr, I need your advice!

I saw someone using ableist slurs and phrases, so I called them out for it, but I'm worried I said something ableist without intending to do so.

[Edit] Here's more context: the whole argument started when I (politely) criticized some other person defending an oppressive cult religion that preaches about eternal damnation. Then another person came, started mocking me and other people for criticizing oppressive beliefs about eternal damnation.

This is what I said: You say I'm the bigot here? That's pretty fucking rich coming from someone using ableist slurs ('degenerate', it's also a nazi dogwhistle by the way) and complaining about 'people in their 30's - 40's living in their parents' basements getting triggered over everything', which is a harmful stereotype used to mock disabled people. If I were you, I wouldn't be talking about bigotry before fixing my faults.

This was their response to me calling them out: “Ableist slurs”? “Nazi dogwhistle”? “Harmful stereotypes used to mock disabled people”? I can call behavior such as bullying and harassing children online for what it is: degeneracy. I never said a word about disabled people—how fucking dare you correlate people living in their parents basements to disabled people, what is wrong with you? I would have never made that connection or came to that conclusion for myself because only an ableist person would.

I'm a disabled person (autism, adhd and mental health issues), and I was disturbed by their comment about "adults living in their parents' basements", because that phrase has been used to insult disabled people around me.

The said person was also using "mentally ill" as an insult before I interacted with them.

So, any thoughts?

The urge to cut off like 99% of my friends is constantly growing.

1) They keep calling me slurs(I'm literally OK with being called a faggot and tranny by the ones who also fall under those slurs, but somehow not wanting to be called a cripple, by able-bodied people no less, is somehow toxic???)

2) They make fun of me for having to have my phone on 'light mode' even though I've explained a billion times I literally CAN NOT SEE THE TEXT OR PICTURES OTHERWISE

3) They constantly mix up my lazy eye and strabismus and say it makes me look like a token idiot from movies(I wonder fucking why?! Could the answer maybe, possibly, be ableism in the film industry?!)

4) They take my cane without asking which I don't really mind when I'm sitting down but they'll literally take it while I'm standing and leaning against it, knowing I'm a severe fall risk and that falling is extremely dangerous for me, which they also make fun of

5) They treat me like I'm being ridiculous because I'm upset that after 13 years of modern, contemporary, and classical ballet and 2 of tap and hip hop I can no longer dance at all(not even with my arms as they tire easily or my head cause moving it too much triggers tic attacks)

6) They refuse to slow down for me when walking to class, even on staircases, but also get mad when I don't walk with them(not to mention walking alone is dangerous for me for multiple reasons)

7) They treat my absence seizures as if they're not serious because they don't involve shaking on the ground and said it's basically just dissociation(which they also get mad at me for doing)

8) They call me dramatic for having trauma responses to things like cars back firing and plastic water bottles popping even though they know I have untreated PTSD from my house being shot up by my neighbor when I was 11

9) One of them gets angry at me if I'm upset about being called a slur because "they're just telling the truth"

10) I told them that I want to go by Nora-Zachary and They/Them this year instead of my old 'preferred name'(it was never my preferred name I just had to pick the first name that came to my head the first day freshman year so I wouldn't be called my deadname) and He/They, but only one has complied on pronouns and no one has on my name

11) They laugh and call it 'cute' on days where my rhotacism, struggle to verbalize, and/or accent(both regional and autism accent)are more prominent

12) A couple have said I don't have a lisp, which is true, but what they actually meant is that I don't have a speech impediment(literally why do able-bodied people think only lisps and stutters exist, I'm pretty sure rhotacism is one the most common articulation impairments along with lisps and lambdacism, yet not even my parents know what it's called)

And like a billion other things too. Being around them is quite literally making me more suicidal. But IDK. Do I just need to suck it up? Is this as good as it gets? Before literally a year ago I only had 3 friends, and before 2 years ago I had 0, so I don't know what's acceptable.

Cancel culture isn't real because Robert Downey Jr did blackface in 2008 and used the r-word over and over in the same movie. The protests against both these things were vocal and well covered, but he played Iron Man the same year so nobody gave a single shit. Fifteen years later there has been no accountability or apology and y'all are still out here licking this man's continually racist Republican boots.

Curious about people’s thoughts on terminology take backs for disabled/mentally ill people.

#mental illness #disability #ableism #ableist slurs #slur take back #just curious this is not a place to be an asshole to others #also heads up I am both disabled and mentally ill so not like asking to make drama #I want to get a read on people’s thoughts for this #so I can monitor the words I use better

[entropy-sea-system]

Quit using terms like "psychopathic" "narcissistic" "sociopathic" "psychotic" etc. to describe violence or genocide. Call it what it is instead of resorting to using ableist slurs to describe people behind the violence, who probably aren't even mentally ill or neurodivergent. You're just hurting those who are nd or have mental illness/disorders, by using these words to describe people who are backing violence and genocide (which is, btw, the people in power the government making it happen, not the civilians of the country, mind you)

#ableism #ableist slurs #also psychosis is completely different than aspd the two are distinct and neither is innately violent !! #so idk why you mfs cant even remember to not confuse the two you just hate all mentally ill ppl so much dont you #tw ableist slurs #tw violence #tw genocide #violence #genocide

[mental-mona]

This is actually a really good, in-depth exploration of why some phrases are unintentionally ableist. It's informative without coming across as angry or reactionary, or like it's expecting everyone in the world to immediately change their entire speech patterns.
