jetpack-jenny:tashabilities:darkskintharpy:blackberryshawty:jumpingjacktrash:vocabulary and mentality aren’t the same, though. some people, when they’re mad, will say the worst, meanest thing they can think of, whether they believe it or not.especially people with BPD, in my experience, will say shit that is the absolute opposite of what they believe when they’re having a meltdown. so the idea that whatever you say when you’re throwing a shitfit is your ‘true mentality’ is actually pretty ableist.i mean, consider things other than slurs that you say when emotions run high, are those always what you truly believe? things like “i can’t do anything right!!” and “you never listen to me!“ and “you care more about that hobby than you do about me!” and “i’m a failure and everything is ruined!” – does that mean that’s your honest belief, and the things you say when you’re rational are just a front?no, of course not. you spit some bullshit when you’re freaking out, and it’s not so much true as emotionally powerful, because your feelings are too out of control to be expressed by normal and true statements.so if someone you know uses slurs or says something bigoted when they’re riled, and then apologizes later and says they didn’t mean it, i say believe them. if they won’t take it back or apologize, THEN you can take them to task for it.Some people??? Use slurs??? To cope????LMAO this is so ugly I literally have BPD and I have never once in my life even considered calling someone violent slurs even during my worst blowups and meltdowns. Someone who uses slurs is a fucking bigot and mental illness doesn’t excuse that ever period.White folks will use mental illness as justification for their racism like, ALWAYS.Poc so fragile they think words are violence hahahaSo if a guy has terets and the results in a sound that resembles a slur, is he a racist. -- source link
