Look at this cowbee, so easy for you but think of how hard being reasonable and empathetic is for bigoted assholes? In avoiding ableism you’ve become a participant!
i need to get into the habit of adding tags like these because i’m almost never serious and it never fails for someone to miss the sarcasm/snark each time i do it.
Never said they were slurs, but that their usage as pejoratives is usually with homophobic and/or misogynistic undertones. The insulting part is usually the societal shame cast on women and gay men historically, as there’s nothing actually wrong with liking dick.
That is just not true. The terms have roots in AAVE that have nothing to do with bigotry. It’s mocking the action itself rather than the perpetrators of said actions
I don’t really think it’s difficult to avoid ableism in our language.

If a single word with no significant history attributes ableism to the person or people who use it, then perhaps you’re the problem.
What are you alluding to?
Maybe the fact that you think the terms: dickriding, meatriding, dicksucking or cocksucking are somehow slurs?

Why is the action bad?
It’s not that the action is bad, it just uses it rhetorically is all. Practically no one is using it with bigoted intentions.
How is it used as a pejorative without being bad at all? Would you call someone “brown-eyed” as an insult?
