ableism is treating one person as lesser, inadequate, or "not as good" based on qualities of any sort

this language has become so pervasive it is incredibly hard to learn your way out of not using

however, it's also some of the most important, imo, because it is so harmful to such a wide range of people
ableist slurs are just words that follow that definition, and here is a non-exhaustive list
-dumb
-stupid
-retarded
-autistic (used as a deprecation)
-lame
-insane
-crazy

and so, so many more

please, please try to stop using them, thanks

i get a strangely large amount of confusion whenever someone asks if im hitting on them or if X post means i wanna date

coz my answer is always "i don't know, what is dating, to you?" or "how do you define dating?"

and like

that kinda makes me scared?

dating isn't something that can be defined in a monolithic all encompassing definition

treating it even for a second like you can is irresponsible, and almost guaranteed to hurt your relationship

y'know that shitpost format? "a date can just be two girls mewling"? etc?

that shouldnt be a shitpost, imo. dating is what you make it, and any sort of relationship is abstract concepts we as humans agreed on and decided had meaning

so communicate with the people you care about maybe and figure out what dating means to you.

just my imo.
