Aaron<p>I really love seeing other people point out that intelligence and intellectual disability have *nothing* to do with the worth of a human being. I've said it many, many times, and it's hugely important to me that people see the truth of it. Too often, I see people who would be mortified to say something ableist, causally shaming someone for making poor or immoral choices by calling them an IQ-related slur -- without even batting an eye.</p><p>This is a shout-out to two specific folks I've seen make this point:</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://disabled.social/@JustGrist" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>JustGrist</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>grimalkina</span></a></span> </p><p>I hold you both in high esteem.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/egalitarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>egalitarianism</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/IQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IQ</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intelligence</span></a> <br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/IntellectualDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntellectualDisability</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MoralWorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MoralWorth</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/IQShaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IQShaming</span></a></p>

Aaron<p>Calling someone an idiot or claiming there is a widespread learning disability that makes most people idiots is pretty ableist. If they're wrong, or they're jerks, that's probably the thing you should focus your commentary on.</p><p>Idiot is a slur that implies some degree of learning, intellectual, or developmental disability, and is often used to other non-disabled people by painting them as having such a disability. This cements the mental habit of treating such a disability as a form of inferiority, and of dismissing the views of those who are perceived as having such a disability. You are tearing down a whole group of marginalized people who are innocent bystanders when you use a word for them as an insult for others.</p><p>It's the slightly less offensive sibling of the r word. Please don't use it. Focus on behaviors, not abilities.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/slurs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slurs</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/insults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insults</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/IntellectualDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntellectualDisability</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LearningDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearningDisability</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DevelopmentalDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevelopmentalDisability</span></a></p>
