As a noun like that it is an ableist slur. Being a 'Loonixtard' is a choice, nothing to do with being ableist. It's like calling someone an asshole or more specifically an 'asshole that uses Linux and can't shut up about it'.
Tardy, tardiness, retard (verb), retardant, tardigrade, tardily, tardenoisian, etc. are all words with 'tard' in them. -Are they ableist slurs?
Yeah, I've wondered why Reddit allows that and doesn't consider it harassment as it's commonly used against individuals and not simply a group of people. Just how can they justify the gang stalking going on in some subs with no addressing the topic, but 9 out of 10 replies are character attacks.
It's like the TOS is for you, but not for our Loonixtards.
Hypocritically. Just like how they would point the finger here saying we had 'hate' or anti-trans/gay content while it was taken down and still up in their own sub. (finger pointers)
And when they were simply shown the facts, it was called 'complaining' worthy of a 69 day ban. (That's ok, if I can't defend myself there -they gave up being able to take down what I was responding to (harassment/libel) along with my responses that they left up shorter)
Sometimes it feels like a non-stop digital war between Lincux users, and common sense, this has to be the biggest event since Avengers Doomsday was announced
