What are your thoughts on people referring to words like "stupid" and "dumbass" as ableist terms? Do you agree or disagree with this? Y or Y NOT?

I can't think of any time me or people I know have used those words with the intent to be ableist. Like saying 'thats gay/retarded', I think its just an edgy naive use of a word over anything intended to be barbed towards anyone with any mental retardation or someone in the LGBTQIA+ community.
