I really wish the ableist community names thing would stop..

Many lists of alternatives exist online, here's one, and another, finding another word shouldn't be hard.

(Oh, and edit to add: it isn't about offense )

What alternative word would you use in this case, as a pejorative insult to someone’s intelligence

The point is literally to not, because doing so is ableist.

Shocker..

Edit to be clear: and not because it's a lot of information, but because bigots are so rarely willing to challenge their bias and risk being better, I wasn't really expecting you to (but that doesn't mean you're wrong or that others shouldn't know why).. 🙄

You "disagreeing" (more like maintaining cognitive dissonance, and clearly not reading the links, especially the last one) doesn't make it any less ableism. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

E: also - ableism isn't some thought experiment for you to "test out" your debating skills on, it's an actual form of oppression that affects billions globally, and it feeds on deep rooted smug and dismissive attitudes like yours.
