Re: Tumblr and ableism...confused here.

This is definitely a word that's caused trouble with me and I agree with your interpretation.

I had a rough weekend once - this was years ago, before the tumblr SJW thing and when LJ still was pretty lively, and I really tore into myself for a forgotten thing that created this HUGE ASS FAMILY DRAMA.

(which was actually a different family member being unreasonable, but ANYWAY)

I had a friend who was very nice but with a different understanding of context decide to also tear into me for using the word 'stupid' to refer to MYSELF at this time for being ableist and somehow insulting her child, who was on the autism spectrum?

Like.

Your child is not stupid, and you were not part of this.

This was about my shitshow, and you made it about you.

I don't know, this went off the rails, but the fight over the word 'stupid' has been going for a long time... and some of the fight is pretty fucking stupid.

Exactly. If I leave my keys somewhere, that's a stupid i.e. thoughtless mistake. It says nothing about how I would do on an intelligence test. If I call myself stupid for it and someone assumes I'm calling myself of low intelligence, that's stupid i.e. illogical of them because there's no connect between overall intelligence and forgetting your keys one time.

Stupid is one of those words that have so many applicable meanings, none of which are used in a medical sense today, that it's impossible to declare Always Okay or Always Not Okay.

That's the one thing you're forgetting with the SJW mindset though. Words are always "Always Okay" or "Always Not Okay."

I was recommended to substitute the word "illogical" or "ridiculous" when need be. Nevermind the fact that you can't just swap words that have different meanings, and sometimes I'm forced to think and come up with FIFTEEN WORD PHRASES TO FULLY DEPICT SAID STUPIDITY I AM TRYING TO DESCRIBE. Nope. Clearly all words have one word substitutes and can be easily stricken from our language.
