can everyone please cut out the phrases “derp” and “herp” from their vocabulary please this is a formal request from important people we’re begging you
Since a lot of people don’t know this, herp derp (and all its various forms) are slurs used to mock people with various forms of PDD.
It’s not just a cutesy sound to show that you did something foolish, it’s a direct mocking and shaming of people with disabilities.
