Surprise, surprise.

Someone sent atheistme this ask:

I am autistic, have severe anxiety, and a sensory disorder. You know what I always found kinda funny? Mentally challenged people are not offended by the word “retarded” because it’s not even a word for us. Only able people are ever offended by the worded retarded, or insane, etc. Just like my gay friends are never offended when someone calls them “fag”, because it’s not even a correct term to refer to them.

Whoever sent that message needs to go fuck themselves. The world doesn’t revolve around your internalized bigotry. Using bigoted slurs is wrong because it reinforces systems of oppression. And if you don’t think queer people mind being called “fag,” you can say that to my face and I’ll smash yours in, asshole.

Lmao this is perfect.

Someone from an oppressed group decides not to be offended at something and then someone with more privilege tells them “no, fuck you, you need to be offended by things otherwise how will you be oppressed”.

This is the perfect trap to lay down if you want people who suffer in real life to have no allies whatsoever.

Also you’re a fag bro.

Sweetie, I have this sneaking feeling you’re not one to lecture others about oppression and privilege.
