I thought it was the 2020s.

But it's too good not to use, and it's the last good insult we have. Mental ableism is the last bastion. I make my stand here.

The slippery slope we're being forced down on leads to "don't be mean to anyone ever", and I, as a product of the era of https://youtu.be/C4dnCZSYmbY, fundamentally refuse to accept that.
