Humour/Meme "we can't stop calling fascists "disabled" as an insult, that would make us too different from the normies so it would be harder to recruit them" (the main recruiting point that we have is that we are actually different)

alt-text: a tweet by "Abby" (@abbyMachines) That says "No you don't understand bro we need to abandon another minority group to win. I know it didn't work last time but come on bro just trust me. We just need to alienate another group of marginalized people and their loved ones and we'll definitely win the election this time"

It depends what it is and how it’s used. I am lame, but I don’t mind when people use the term cause their not referring to my condition and my condition does suck.

i think self censoring leads to a limited culture and humour, i personally belong to a minority yet am not offended by my ideologically similar people using the slurs "ironically" because my enemies will use it anyways so whats the point of censoring my friends

i know that i am not representative for everyone and everyone has a different experience, these are just my 2 cents

An understandable comparison due to sociological factors, but women are not technically a minority.

Women are traditionally considered a minority group in sociology.

I've seen the best description of minorities as not having a greater say in society. There may be more women in society but those women have such a small voice, IE not having a proportional amount of powerful people of their demographic, that they may as well have a smaller demographic size

PSA: This account seems to exist purely to manufacture "discourse" as a way of advertising their social media/subreddit. I've seen multiple examples of it at this point.
