      I agree ableism is bad but the original comment wasn’t stupidity, it was decent sarcasm.

        The original comment wasn’t bigoted. The r-word is bigotry. “The original comment is stupid” wouldn’t excuse the N-word, would it? What’s the difference?

        If a comment is stupid, call it stupid. Don’t be a bigot.

          Since when did I excuse the r-word usage? I just said that ableism is bad. I condemn it. I object only to you calling the original comment dumb when it was satirical.
