Didn't we just finish telling off people on Blahaj zone for making ableist comments like this?

Is "brainless" genuinely considered a bigoted term? Or is this a bit

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

I think the term used by them was "braindead" and I find that considerably more problematic than "you have no brain" because it's an actual medical state of being whereas the other is just being a bimbo blob-no-thoughts

We will not stand for bigoted anencephalphobes

if someone is brainless, they're dead. if someone is braindead, they're still a person.

A braindead person is definitely dead too

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

no, braindead people can go on living as long aa they're intubated and fed. the autonomic processes continue on.
