A lib is gonna say:
“the <<brainworms>> insult that far leftist use is heavily classist and racist because they are referring to when poor people had high levels of untreated syphilis thus developing brain infestation”
… and be retweeted a gazillion times.
I know it’s gonna happen any day.
Remember when they did that with smoothbrain?
Well they convinced me, I thought people truly find it ableist, so I don’t use it, there are many ways of calling someone stupid without shitting on mentally challenged people
Is there any actual medical condition that would give someone a “smooth brain”?
I use the phrase smooth bore.
Literally any phrase that suggests someone has awful ideas and is inherently an awful thought factory could be reduced to ableist.
Even using something “food brained” like someone suggested below is just doing the same thing saying “N-word” does while singing a song. The intention is the same with loophole wording.
Is there any actual medical condition that would give someone a “smooth brain”?
Alzheimer’s (google images, folds become shallower as surface area is lost) and some other neurodegenerative diseases can do that.
Obviously not as extreme as the meme picture.
it turns out there is another ‘smoothbrain’ disorder: lissencephaly (via this comment)
“Stupid” is shitting on mentally challenged people. There are people who struggle with being stupid.
C’mon you know what I mean, I’m talking about “r****d” and how that word is shitting on some people with different conditions.
Nah, there’s a better chance that they co-opt it into their language.
Ah fuck, don’t give them ideas!
