To think that calling someone "spa***c" is offensive?

[IglooLists]

I'm in a parenting group on FB that describes itself as a "respectful parenting community". Someone posted for some advice about her child's behaviour, and described him as "goes spastic". There was nothing in the post to suggest the child has any medical condition. I responded with some advice, and also said that I was struggling to get past the use of "spastic", and questioned the moderation of the group. Cue several responses to me suggesting that I don't know what the word means, it's my problem if I interpret it as offensive, it's just a word, etc etc. I felt like I'd stepped into a parallel universe!
Am I some kind of professionally offended snowflake or is that an incredibly offensive way to describe someone?

Nearlyroses mn*g means mongol 🤬🤬

Thanks - it's not a term I've ever heard anyone use.

Perhaps you should draw the group's attention to this:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic_(word)#:~:text=UK%20and%20Ireland,-The%20medical%20term&text=However%2C%20the%20word%20began%20to,forms%20such%20as%20'spaz'.

Report this post and ask why. A previous post of mine was hidden as soon as I posted it. When I asked why, it was immediately un-hidden. I wonder if there are certain offensive words that prompt immediate action from MNHQ. But it's often difficult to discuss issues like this without referring to the words themselves.
