Why stop there? Let’s bring back slurs about gay people, black people, let’s bring back Jewish stereotypes. Let’s turn into the cesspool that was The Donald and Reddit’s old racist subs. No need to be considerate and inclusive, respectful and empathetic. Is this what you’re saying?

Context is everything, if you ever knew and cared about someone with disabilities, you wouldn't think that way.
