why saying "go outside" or "touch grass" isn't ableism
- a very exhausted tired disabled person

NOTE: do not use this carrd to witch-hunt any disabled individuals, even if they say these terms are ableist.

context of the terms

"go outside", "touch grass", "log off" "terminally/chronically online" are definitely been terms which have long been in use on the internet.the general use of these words are to tell others that they are investing way too much time into the internet, specifically that they are participating in meaningless discourse that virtually does not exist in real life, and is only discussed online.example:
User 1: We shouldn't delete computer files! They have feelings.
User 2: Dude, touch grass.(note - the example above is a made up discourse shown solely for example purposes)

why they aren't inherently ableist

you may hear the words "terminally" or "chronically" and immediately connotate these terms in relation to health, and therefore believe them to be ableist terms.however, the words "chronically" or "terminally" have similar meanings and use outside of health discussions.

in the context of how the terms are generally used, they aren't inherently ableist - there is no intentional relation to disabilities being made, the use of "chronically" or "terminally" is just merely denoting that someone is extremely online, or extremely focused on online discourse.the same logic applies to "go outside" or "touch grass" - the terms by themselves are not making an intentional dig at disability, and neither is the general context they are used in.THIS BEING SAID. of course these terms can be used to perpetuate ableism.
Example:User 1: That slur is ableist. Please don't say it.
User 2: Go outside!Now, although it has the potential to be used in an ableist context, that will never mean the terms themselves are ableist. Any general insult can be used to perpetuate ableism in a specific context, however, that does not make the insult ableist. It is the context which does so.

why it's harmful to say they're ableist

when you express "saying go outside is abliest" or "chronically online is an ableist term!" you are perpetuating the idea that all disabled individuals/people are unable to leave our houses, or that all we are able to do is be on our computers all day long.yes, there are disabled individuals who are physically unable to leave their homes. but to generalise us and say this applies to us all is wrong.i would argue that saying these terms are ableist is in of itself... ableism. you are stereotyping disabled individuals and making us out to be inept shut-ins who literally can't do anything by ourselves, when this couldn't be further than the truth.we are already infantilised and treated like inept babies already.

final thoughts

please stop loosely throwing around the word "ableism" online. ableism is a severe, extreme form of bigotry and hatred that has seeped into practically every facet of our world. ableism causes violence, ableism causes us to be treated inhumanely. "ableism" is not a term to be thrown around.it is not ableist when someone tells you to "go outside" or calls you "terminally online" because you constantly dedicate yourself to trivial internet discourse.it's okay if these terms hurt your feelings, or if you dislike them, or hate them even.
bat the end of the day, they're insults.. and insults are, well, insulting.
but that doesn't mean that they are inherently ableist.Thank you if you got this far mates, i've been your chronically online disabled author for thise evening. Forr an extra challenge try to spot how many times i misspelt ableism. Its probably alot idk
