lauredhel: "I don't even THINK about disability when I hear the word 'lame'! No one does!"

Feel free to link to this post if you're ever trying to rebut these statements:

"But lame doesn't mean that anymore!"

"That's completely archaic! No-one alive THESE days would ever have used it that way!"

"I don't even THINK about disability when I say or hear 'lame'! No one does!"

*headdesk* There was a huge wankstorm that blew up on the LJ version of fanficrants because of the word 'lame.' After that, if I ever so much as see the word 'lame' again it would be too soon.

Thanks for this comment! I would like to link that too, to get more perspectives. I'll go looking for it. Although I completely understand being burned out on the topic!

Thanks for the 2nd link, I didn't know about that community at all! I will add that link in a new post so everyone can see it/notice it.
