    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!
