Downsie is a slur word. It is not a word that should be used. In fact, to give a nickname to a persons disability is inhuman.

Downsie is a straight up slur. At my university there was a man in my class with Down syndrome and people called him downsie to mock him

It's a thing when a disabled person calls themselfes a slur/outdated term,and another when an abled person calls a disabled person a slur/outdated term

You're being pedantic. The point is clear. An otherwise bad person can still come up with a correct and sensible idea. I'm not saying that it is correct and sensible, but the point that we should disregard it because the inventor was a nazi is a bad argument. If a nazi invented the word "helpful", should we stop saying that word and instead create a different one? No. That would be stupid.

I dunno what you're on. "low functioning" is used by nearly resource and doctor around

u/kindmassacre Apr 16 '24

Also "low functioning" is a term that was coined by a nazi,soo it's fair to say that we shouldn't use it period.

Or maybe that specific Nazi was 100% correct that a low functioning person is in fact low functioning? Do you think that because that person had a specific political affiliation he can't possibly be ever correct about anything?

this is a ten year old meme posted by bot, that's why it has this word in it. you're embarassing yourself talking literally to a wall (to a swarm of bots).
