        neurodivergent are people who have atypical brains. like those with adhd, autism, etc. several of the admins of dbzero are neurodivergent, and many of the mods are as well, so they obviously don’t appreciate slurs against people like them.

      The word slurs is false

      The user clearly didn’t meant to insult or slur at people having schizophrenia

        So if I were to call someone a “fag” that’s not a slur against gay people? In exactly the same way “Schizo” is a slur against folks with schizophrenia. It’s not rocket science. You are using their disorder as an example of something that’s wrong/bad. How do you think that makes folks with schizophrenia feel? You freeze peach idiots are only interested in yourselves.

          Schizo is short for schizophrenia

          Fag is short for faggot, which is already homophobic

          You’re really going to compare this to “faggot” and, to an extent, “nigger”? These words are obviously meant to discriminate those people, when I’ve never seen “schizo” be used to discriminate people having this mental disorder

          You are using their disorder as an example of something that’s wrong/bad

          Well it is bad… I believe nobody wants to have schizophrenia, just like dementia and Alzheimer’s, yet I believe you’re fine with people saying those words when you have bad memory, unless you believe that’s a slur as well? I don’t believe it was ever meant to discriminate those people, or to say that they are inferior in any way.

          You freeze peach idiots are only interested in yourselves.

          Bold assumption to make, when you’re making a tantrum about a specific subject. No, we’re not. And if I’m wrong, then I’ll admit it. Banning straight up for 7 days (iirc) is not the way to go to educate people. You assume bad intentions which can only end up wrong.

          I do agree that using the word like that is inaccurate and might be a bit offensive, but claiming someone is ableist because of this is far fetched

            By the way, banning me from your community will not make you be right magically

            That’s really childish
