"Neurodiverse = wrong/broken/evil" is a brainworm that I wish would die. Sucks that it probably never will.
The worlds most evil people are able and "normal" for lack of a better word anyway.

I really appreciate hexbear for pushing me to see this, and once I did, so much started feeling so alien to me. E.g. using "stupid" is just a catchword for anything you don't respect but are unable to articulate why, and for some reason using a term which is essentialist about forms of intelligence? What an odd world it became.
Thanks hexbear, you made me a much better person
Using words like "s*upid" also often have this very misantropic undertone that translates so easily to fascism which I've become more and more aware of.
I was watching a driving related video yesterday and YT recommended some compilation videos under it with headers like "S*upid people in cars" and similar with even worse words that are used in the same way. And I found out I want nothing to do with that anymore.
It has an air of superiority to it, the people watching them and laughing at others get to imagine they are better than those [insert slur] people. It's a tool of othering through and through and very normalized.
Once we start to unlearn it, it only then becomes clear how normalized it really is. And it is a form of supremacist thinking.
Unfortunately psychiatry has very much been a tool of oppression and the mainstream use of words that come from this system of othering are manifestations of the othering being fully mainstream.
