I think deliberately interpreting other people's speech only within the framework that your mind works in is problematic. It doesn't even matter if there's consensus — you're choosing to interpret it as ableist despite it clearly not being used in that manner and you refuse to acknowledge that people different from you use language differently. How is this not a bigoted stance to hold? It's language imperialism.
Exactly right, this is why such snow flake identity politics that redefine words should not be allowed on HN. It's effectively ruined twitter and a good chunk of the internet, so it should stay over there.
It's silly that the OP wishes to turn a conversation into computer monitors into a conversation about bad or good words.
