Thanks for your suggestion. I've never noticed that before - good call. I will update it as soon as possible.I know it might seem strange to make a whole post for this, but basically I just made a comment with the "straight-faced" emoji and noticed that the code for it is [colon]lame[colon]. I think it might be better to use :neutral: or something like that to avoid unintended ableist language.
What is "ableist" language? I'm not familiar.I know it might seem strange to make a whole post for this, but basically I just made a comment with the "straight-faced" emoji and noticed that the code for it is [colon]lame[colon]. I think it might be better to use :neutral: or something like that to avoid unintended ableist language.
:neutral:
carries the same message as though. It could be :whatever:
or :dull:
Oh I've never heard of thatBasically language that denigrates or devalues people with disabilities. For example, calling something "lame" to describe it as "bad"/"uninspiring"/etc. involves making a negative value judgment of people who have difficulty walking due to physical impairment. (These people would have archaically been called "lame(d)", and that's where the more modern connotation of the term comes from.)
