AYRT

I know the origin of the term, but it is not "ableist" (which you misspelled, btw) no matter how much you want to have fun thought-policing people. I say this AS a PWD, the comment was not ableist. You want to know what's ableist? I can give you lists for days about ableism in society/IRL/outside, and none of it, NONE of it, has to do with the words and phrases people use in everyday, colloquial conversation.

TL;DR: I've broken social workers three times your age, nonny. Don't push my buttons.

Okay, genuinely curious, why isn't it ableist? Doesn't it imply that that the commenters are mentally disabled since short buses were used to pick up kids that were enrolled in Special Ed? If by "shortbus", someone was trying to say that the commenters were assholes or trolls or SJWs or ignorant or whatever, well what does that have to do with a short bus?

I actually agree.

I cannot see how "haha they're being pretty shortbus today" is NOT ableist or doesn't have ableist implications. What ELSE could you mean by that if not talking about 'special ed' buses.

Maybe it's not a BIG act of ableism but that doesn't mean it's not ableist in some way.

AYRT's position seems to be that there is no such thing as ableism in language, period.

Which of course it's their prerogative to say so; but it's certainly not the majority opinion and I can't really see my way to agreeing with it myself.
