It would if people were really horrified but, well, most of the time it gets brushed off or turned into a linguistics argument. Most people don't even realise it offends disabled people in their own country just as much as it does over here in the UK.

But thank you

How about we just use the term "Glitchy". Like a software error?


That's not offensive?

Is this a Wreck it Ralph reference? Or just a coincidence from a genuine suggestion?

I've not seen Wreck It Ralph... My computer was acting up and I thought of it.

Oh. My bad. You should watch it, it's a good film. And theres coincidently a parallel to disability in it where a character "glitches" when she's upset, but she says she's not a glitch she just has pixlexia.

Glitch is a good word when it fits, but it's limited in it's use.

Just to probably make half the people this thread angry all over again...

Since this is, after all, the Daredevil kink meme, do people consider it ableist when someone says, "I must be blind, it was right in front of me the entire time, why couldn't I find it?"

I'd ask that question on a forum for blind/visually impaired people instead of here. Higher chance on actually finding someone who could give you a first-hand answer.
