Sagebrush posted:The r-word has a good balance of sounds to be spat out in anger in a way that other terms like "idiot" or "moron" don't. The mouth feel of tacking “loving” onto “moron” feels just right to me. You can load so much scorn into it

The phrase "mentally retarded" was initially conceived as a clinical term to replace the colloquialism "moron," which itself used to be a medical term

MY WIFE is a school counselor (I may have mentioned this in passing) but still says "retarded" sometimes when she is very angry, I think because she's from New Jersey

Everyone knows if you use the soft "ah" rather than a hard "r" it makes it okay. /s

The first one, she's not a Boston townie (I get your reference) And yeah I take care to remind her that she should know better as a person with a psych degree who interacts with special-needs children all day and she gets the hint

My problem with retard has always been "but how likely is a RETARDED person to see what im posting and get offended?" I think parents getting upset at the word because they have special needs kids is a bridge too far. Also im not a hateful person and dont use slurs, but retarded is useful in a way other slurs are not iMO

Right, so someone with a special needs kid can gently caress off, because the word retard is useful to you, instead of, oh, I don't know, the thousands of other words you can use to describe that same person without using a, as you called it, a slur? Tell me, should women stop being so sensitive about being called bitches, because, hey, it's a handy word to describe them?

Or maybe not be an rear end in a top hat to someone with a condition literally beyond their control? Even if they never find out, you're still an rear end in a top hat. It's just basic empathy.

that word (personally) should never be applied to those types of people. thats a stunning lack of empathy i agree. that word should have never been pointed at them in the first place. actual retards like that guy (or my mom) who just invested his/her life savings based on iraqi dinar re-valuation should definitely be offended.

If someone chooses to have a mixed-race child, by your logic the child is “allowed” to get offended if you use a racial epithet but for the parent to get offended is “a bridge too far”. What next? Gays getting offended when you call them fags? When will the madness end! Don’t give up! Fight for your right to be a prick! PS not only are you incapable of a rational argument, you’re an rear end in a top hat.

No dude because bitches is a gendered slur, they are different. A non-mentally handicapped hearing the word “retarded” is getting offended on behalf of disabled people. It’s a really bad idea to try to compare or contrast slurs, because you probably don’t understand what it’s like to be a woman, and gay, and a POC, and physically disabled etc, so trying to say “the word retard is just as bad and should be handled the same as X” just makes you seem insensitive while also virtue signaling.

I’m not a Gypsy but I don’t use (or like) the expression “what a gyp”. I’m not black but if someone uses the n-word you’re drat right I’ll get offended. Should we only get offended when a slur targets us directly? You can call it political correctness, but it’s really just basic human decency.

As a middle class white man who's never really faced any real discrimination I literally can't even understand the concept of being offended at something not laser-targeted at me specifically. It must be that virtue-signalling thing I've heard so much about??
