Reposting this not to try to tell anyone how they should feel about this specific situation, but to educate on coprolalia because I’m seeing a lot of misinformed and harmful tweets about tourettes

It's not ableism to object to editorial racism. Tourettes tics are involuntary. Editing choices are not. If genocide supporters can be protected by editorial choices, so can Black audiences. There was no disability-related justification for airing that tic. None whatsoever.

yeah so this is something that people with coprolalia do experience regularly. their tics do often result in them being assaulted. But as many an abusive parent/caregiver of a disabled person has discovered, you can’t beat tics out of people.
