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?

See now, this is why I go with shitbird myself...anyone can be a shitbird...equality! aaaaanyway I hesitate to use them except on myself, but not because I think they are ableist...my instinct is that they are super generic terms, too generic to say that a group is being targeted/diminished - bad ideas can come from all different people of all different mental capacities and different reasons and so on
