This is ableist. Pls take down your post and go inform yourself.

Wait how is this ableist? Is dumb a slur now? Are you trolling? I read the document linked to by the other person and I don't think it applies to the post.

No, we can't afford to be above educating people. Leave the post up. Learn from the mistake. Move on.

We all need to learn the things we thought are innocuous are harmful. Otherwise it's too easy to throw up our hands and says it's the euphemism tread mill. And we don't have time to waste on that.

Dear Everybody Tips on Ableist and First Person Language

How is this relevant to the post? 'dumb' isn't on the list? I'm honestly struggling to see how the meme is ableist

[-] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago

Common examples of ableist language are words like, “lame,” “dumb,” “retarded,” “blind,” “deaf,” “idiot,” “imbecile,’ “nuts,” “psycho,” and “spaz.”

It is listed on page 1, paragraph 3.

Huh I never knew dumb was ableist, I always thought it referred to a person's decision making rather than intellectual ability

I didn't make the meme, I saw it on twitter and thought it was funny in a self deprecating way.
