As a lifelong & since borth person with Short & Long Term Memory & Language Processing Challenges, SLD degreed & many certifications in ESE, I probably know what you are talking better than you.
I have never really thought about the use of stupidity before, but at the same time, I time one can be stupid only because they are not using their minds on that topic, not because of any challenge their minds have. Thank you, though.
With that being said & assuming you were right, what word could we use instead?
I am not taking offense, except using Wikipedia as a source for anything!
I probably know what you are talking better than you.
if you know better than resorting to inspiration porn and using ableist terms, why are you doing that?
what word could we use instead?
it depends. if you’re trying to insult someone, many many of the terms available will be rooted in disability in some way. hatred of disability is very deeply embedded into both the english language and english-speaking society at large.
however, if you don’t agree with or don’t like what someone’s saying, you can just say so. if you think what someone is doing is terrible and ill-advised, you can just say so. the result is clear communication and not perpetuating ableism, a win-win!
I am done with this, wasting my time with conveniently nice & calm, but PR spinning giving someone different perspective on their challenges, it into Ablism. I am super nice about that insulting Ablism comments, when I should not been.

That is you putting a negative to what is not there, you have a habit of that, where I do not.
