You are projecting too hard. Literally nobody uses that phrase to refer to people with reading disabilities. What is means is don't go spouting your opinion on matters you are ill informed about.

It's your own fucking fault for getting offended by shit people say in casual conversation, especially when people aren't saying it with the intention to actually hurt someone. Stay triggered.

I'm not offended. I'm saying it could be an issue.

People may not use the phrase specifically to refer to people with reading/learning disabilities, but it does kind of promote the "if you don't read for whatever reason you're unintelligent and worthy of mockery" which people with disabilities do internalize to a great degree. It may not be done with that intent but it still happens that way. And I speak from personal experience.

I don't know the specifics of this particular situation that the OP refers to, but I've seen it happen way too much where when a person admits to having difficulty reading or understanding something and gets mocked for being stupid or being a privileged baby who needs to have their hand held when it comes to being educated on stuff. And it frustrates me so damn much.

Like...I'm not one of those people who tries to get offended over stuff. I don't think it's worth the energy to get mad over every slightly problematic thing people say or do. But stuff like this bugs me.

Idk man, I just wish people could talk about stuff like this without people on either side getting angry and defensive, because I think it is valuable to think about and discuss the implications of our language. But JFC I hate how people think you have to be rargh angry in order to be sincere.
