abs – Discord

Hey, so, I believe the use of the word ‘lame’ in the recent update message, at the end of the post, is an oversight. There are other words you could have used in place of this word, which is linked with disability. I know personally that it takes time to examine and alter our vocabulary, and I hope you can be open to considering this, if not now, then for the future. Perhaps, alternate words to describe the feeling you’re trying to express are, ‘uncool’, ‘wack/y’, ‘punk’, ‘short’, ‘lacking’, etc. Just to say though, it’s a bit sad that after explaining how much time went into the update, including consulting folks in discord, you then kinda undo it a little by suggesting it perhaps isn’t as cool. I don’t know- it sorta undermines the whole thing. Be proud of your sh*t.
