"Oh but im autistic and ive been called that!" & im sorry that happened to you! That's horrific & i hate that that happened to you. But the reason the R word is an insult is because u was being compared to people with autism who have intellectual disability. Your proximity to them by way of y'all both being autistic is what made it an insult. So, no. You cannot say "oh I'm so R-worded lol I forgot xyz means xyz" & argue that's reclamation. U don't know what the fuck reclaiming anything means, bc I ONLY EVER SEE WHITE FOLKS DOING THIS. We have got to get it together come the fuck on

There just is no fucking case 2 make on why u should be allowed 2 say it. People with intellectual disability were some of the first targets of the fucking holocaust. They have been regarded as inhuman for centuries. & I really do mean "regarded as inhuman." There have been points in medical history where people with ID were assumed to be entirely incapable of understanding communication or doing communication themselves. Very recent points in medical history. They were used for cruel, disgusting experiments against humanity for having intellectual disability. They are still seen as inhuman & incapable of having opinions or communicating by most. To this day. The communication devices many with ID need cost thousands of dollars. Thousands of dollars— sometimes a continued subscription— to be allowed to speak. They wasnt even allowed to be OUTDOORS legally at one point, see: the ugly laws. So don't fucking cry to me about how you, as a lower-needs autistic person should be allowed to call yourself R-worded when you lose in a video game. Ya big fucking ableist baby. U just want a forbidden exclusive slur 2 say. :bonk: quit it.
