Re: Tumblr and ableism...confused here.

OP here, and thanks.

It bugs me because I've used the word stupid all my life. I never called people stupid, only things, usually because I thought they were ridiculous or don't like them.

"Long lines at Disneyworld are stupid."

"I wish this stupid light would change, I've been sitting in this stupid intersection for five minutes!"

"Twilight was a stupid movie."

"These stupid pants don't fit!"

"Just watch, my stupid phone will ring while I'm taking a crap."

"Animal print leggings look stupid on everybody!"

Etc...

I've never called people stupid. IE "You're stupid if you like Hetalia!" or "Only stupid people wear socks with sandals!"

Yeah, I told my friend as much, but she maintained that the word itself was what was offensive. And that words like "ridiculous" or "illogical" could substitute for it. Which, granted, the word "ridiculous" could substitute for many of your above examples.

However, to Godwin things up a bit, the sentence "it was stupid to ignore Hitler while he kept annexing Austria and other ethnically German territories" does not have a one word replacement.

It wasn't ridiculous to ignore him. And it wasn't illogical to ignore him. It was done out of a sort of fear and complacency to not trigger another World War and the belief that if they kept appeasing him, he'd eventually stop. So I guess I could say "it was well-thought-out-but-ultimately-somewhat-of-a-cowardish-decision-that-didn't-fully-take-into-account-the-extent-of-Hitler's-radicalism-brought-about-by-misguided-prediction-of-the-way-the-future-would-enfold-as-well-as-stemming-from-a-desire-to-stick-their-heads-in-the-sand-and-pretend-everything-was-fine to ignore Hitler while he kept annexing Austria and other ethnically German territories."

Or...

I could say it was stupid.
