Aaaaaaand THIS is why we can’t just “reclaim” alt right fash memes and shit. Helping to spread dogwhistles is. Not good? Can we agree on that? Can we all please agree on that

And like. If you look through these comments, it’s mostly people who dont know better parroting this dogwhistle back as they make memes in this format, with just a handful of leftists critiziting them and alt right freaks sprinkled throughout. When fucking... trad memes get shared and disseminated among moderates, that doesnt take away from the alt right. It makes them feel more at home, and gives them an in to start influencing these people.

Eliminating ableist language is a worthy pursuit, but we need to look beyond removing “crazy” and “stupid” from our lexicons. we need to look at how special (particularly when italicized in speech) does the legwork of r––ed, how get help and go to therapy constitute rhetorical damnations to which “crazy” can’t compare.

We need to really talk about euphemisms and dogwhistles more generally, but specifically in terms of ableist language –– given (mental) disability’s long-held taboo status, it should come as no surprise that phrases innocuous when decontextualized can deliver the most painful ableist blows.
