Ableistitis

When someone online spontaneously develops (usually the rarest and worst ever) physical disability, which they conveniently happen to have never mentioned before, shortly after saying or doing something ableist.
"Last week Sarah told a wheelchair user that they're just being lazy, and when they got angry at her she announced that she has a terrible heart disease and only has a few years to live. She hasn't mentioned this before... sounds a lot like a case of ableistitis to me."

Ableist

Someone who is against people who have mental disabilities and have a total discrimination against people who are on certain spectrums. Like the Autism Spectrum, for instance.
Beware of users who are able to do things like rip sprites, models, textures and even maps from video games. Whenever you go to ask them to rip something in particular, like a certain game you like, they'll tell you to do it yourself.

The Video Game Ripping Community, like those on the VG Resource, for example, are considered ableists. Watch out who you are talking to when visit sites/servers like that of the VG Resource and the Sprite Database.
