@YarnSmith @ShotgunShuffle @Sui @salty @kroner It doesn't matter where you were raised. Normalizing ableist language can have negative consequences like leading to eugenics and genocide. That's why we need to choose our words carefully.

It matters a lot to me, I still hearing clucking and scratching when I sleep - which isn't often. Do you know what a chicken does when their eggs are broken? Do you know how often a small child breaks eggs when moving around in the dark? If you do, maybe you can begin to understand the hell I went through. Please don't dismiss my story.

@YarnSmith @ShotgunShuffle @Sui @salty @kroner Two wrongs don't make a right. You should instead say:
* "The magic system in Final Fantasy 8 was pretty lacking"
* "The magic system in Final Fantasy 8 was pretty boring"
* "The magic system in Final Fantasy 8 was pretty bland"
* "The magic system in Final Fantasy 8 was pretty dull"
It's not your fault. We were all raised in a society that has normalized ableist language, but it is our job to fix it.

How dare you assume I was raised in a society, I was raised by chickens in the back country of Moldova. If I had been out there one more year they reckon I'd never have been able to learn human language. So don't talk to me about being a chicken!

@Sui @YarnSmith @hachi I was taught to say "Republican" instead of "retarded"
