He really meant well, but Sarkeesian, no matter what you think of her, is too toxic to use an example regardless.

This. Same goes for Wu. John Oliver chose possibly the worst two people for his examples he could have.

Yeah, I don't understand how it's possible to deny in good faith that physical and mental disability are axes of oppression and discrimination.

I don't think it's that, it's just the term "ableist" has been thrown around by Tumblr types so much that it isn't taken seriously. It's likely The Boy Who Cried Wolf syndrome.
