Re: "Ableist language"?

[intrigueing]

IMO, what makes this particular term offensive is whether or not the say-er knows. If you call someone stupid who you know is mentally disabled, that's kinda douchey. If you call someone stupid who is mentally disabled but you didn't know it, IMO, just apologize if you do find out, but if you can't tell they're mentally disabled from the get-go...well, no offense, but I don't really think it's a huge deal? Stupid isn't the worst thing you can call someone. I mean, a stupid action is a stupid action regardless, it's just that it could be mean-spirited to say it if you know the person who did it has a mental disability. But I may not have the right perspective here, so feel free to argue with this opinion.

But this kind of just strengthens my opinion that the word "stupid" is kind of jerky and pointless if you're describing a person wholesale, disabled or not. I find that "stupid" is a much more useful descriptor when you're referring to actions or behaviors.

If I may ask -- what contexts do you find the word bothersome? Just curious to know about various people's perspectives on these kinds of things.
