Ableism: a cultural problem in gaming

[FragileSubsidiary]

I have come across enough players on this game who use terms for developmental disability as insults that I feel it apt to post this link:

I hope that some of the young people who throw such terms around in a derogatory manner notice it.

Thanks for your attention.

Sticks and stones may break people's bones, but unkind words still hurt and distance people.

This is not a gaming only thing, everybody uses the word "retard" everywhere nowadays.

Tbh half the people using it don't even know it has to do something with a mental condition and just use it as a synonym for idiot.
