Jun 10 16:24:53 <abyssalheart>	I had. Question? I got a message about reverting some (from what I read in the newbie guide, minor/not needing approval, although I guess I was wrong about that) edits I made, specifically changing the r-slur to something that 1. actually conveyed a clear meaning 2. isn't horribly outdated terminology, that hasn't been used in almost a decade now
Jun 10 16:24:53 <abyssalheart>	3. something not horribly jarring to other people who've had that used against them. I tried asking (before the edits, I tend to lean towards the 'get it okayed just in case' side of things) yesterday, and after about half an hour of waiting something else came up.
Jun 10 16:25:39 <@cybersqyd>	The choice to use the r-slur is stylistic; you disagreeing with it doesn't grant you the power to change it (even if objectively the work would actually be better with the change being made)
Jun 10 16:26:58 <@cybersqyd>	(per the site rules: "You may correct grammar, spelling, or formatting errors on other peoples' articles.

Jun 10 16:29:15 <@cybersqyd>	abyssalheart, do you have uh, further questions?
Jun 10 16:29:33 <abyssalheart>	I really don't think blatant ableism- especially considering rule 0 and plenty of other places, including here, disallowing slurs- being qualified as 'stylistic' is remotely appropriate, but. If that's the stance that the staff's taking on the matter, I guess there's nothing I can do. Thank you.
Jun 10 16:29:46 <abyssalheart>	That'll be all, have a nice day.
