Again, she made fun of his own self hatred at his body, not his body itself.

You can split hairs, but its ableism regardless of the packaging. To deny that she's making fun of his body is to deny reality.

She just isn't though. She is clearly making fun of his anger and self hate at the reality that he is not a perfect picture of his OWN values regarding eugenics and taking it out on people who are not to blame via genociding them. And that's exactly what he is.

If she was talking about Robert Reich, he has a very different mindset about life than hurting others, so it just wouldn't be valid when applied to him, because of who he is as a person. He has made the world a better place because his disability (per his own words) allowed him to see the importance of social programs and economic equity. So no one would claim Robert Reich is angry at being a little person and taking it out on others by deporting families/genociding them - because he isn't. Therefore, the criticism isn't about his SIZE, it is about his self hatred, eugenicism, and genocidal reaction.... OBVIOUSLY
