Korne127@lemmy.world 6 days agoNo. If you use a slur about disabled people to insult anyone, you’re just an asshole. No matter what a disgusting piece of shit anyone is, using that word to insult is just awful.

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 was about people like you

Are you serious? Like, someone says “please don’t use shitty slurs that discriminating disabled people” and your instinctive reaction is “THEY SILENCE ME AND CRIMINALIZE KNOWLEDGE”. That’s just pathetic. You can be an asshole, but get over being called one then.
And unrelated, but Fahrenheit is an awful book lol. Good dystopias are 1984, Brave New World or We. Fahrenheit 451 is just the author mad about television and saying that it’s so stupid and will ruin everyone’s brain. While the thought itself of knowledge being forbidden can be interesting and is an element in other dystopias, Fahrenheit is mainly based on the pure belief that books are a better medium than television, which is beyond ridiculous.
