That just sounds like ableism
Well, yeah, itβs an insult so itβs not exactly meant to be flattering for either the insulted party or the person they are being compared to.
I mean, OP asked for insults. You should be prepared to see some you don't like (which is the point of an insult after all).
It absolutely is. Many insults are.
As an autistic I aprove, if you arent saying this to a ND or mentally disabled person.
I mean if any intelligence-based insult is, this one certainly is. The thing is it is better to be smart than not, so trying to shut those all down is probably a fool's errand.
