    I just used a placeholder in this post to avoid using any actual terms that could be construed as offensive.

      Well I think people in that thread gave you a plenty good answer, if you need more clarification you’re gonna have to be more specific and just put a cw on whatever slur it was you used that made someone mad.

      (the fact that the original answers people gave you have not been satisfactory leads me to believe you are fishing here)

        OK, what was really going on is that I was reading a blog post from a comrade about how many phrases that are often colloquially used are actually ableist/sanist. And in that blog post, it mentioned a lot of phrases where there weren’t any slurs per se, but were still considered ableist/sanist, such as the aforementioned “turn a blind eye”.

          Probably should have led with that and a link to the post instead of the vagueposting that got people suspicious.
