Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Donald Trump.

CSPAM is good because idiotic positions are expressed succinctly rather than being hashed out over 5000 words and several pages of pedantry

If you make a particularly good post you should be granted one (1) use of the r slur

On those notes consider reopening the D&D embassy thread

I'm genuinely asking. There are a dozen ways to call someone a "retard" without actually using that term. Are you offended by those too?

The word filtering backseat modding is some of the most annoying traits people here have.

just my own experience, but as a "millennial aged human," calling someone a retard was always seen as a pretty exceptional and specifically targeted term to demean the mentally disabled.

in some of the worst case scenarios i saw kids my age who had severe autism called that out of pure meanness to indicate nothing other than "haha, your brain doesn't work right, and by calling you this i can inflict pain and get a reaction out of you that i will find funny"

mileage may vary, but I'm wondering which of the other dozen terms you're referring to are basically the same

Calling someone a retard isn't the same as calling them stupid or an idiot or whatever. It's insulting someone by comparing them to a developmentally disabled person.

My nephew has severe cerebral palsy, and my sister has spent his whole life fighting for him to get included in society, to keep him in school rather than kept in a back room somewhere, to get him access to aides and assistive technology, and not let him be pushed aside and marginalized. And I feel like that's what "retard" does, labels disabled people and pushes them aside.

I don't like the word police either. Say whatever words you want man. But a lot of people find that word legit hurtful. FYI.

there are exactly three words for calling someone "retarded" besides "retard", and those three words are "idiot," "moron" and "imbecile."

Do you think the connotation of calling some "low iq" or a "dullard" is different than calling someone a "retard"?

Most of the time someone uses the word "retard" they get probed for it anyways. What is the complaint here? Do you think probes should be escalated?

If you are really offended by the word you can use an addon like stylus to replace it with another word of your choosing.

r/wallstreetbets recently banned using the word 'retard', and it was a major part of that sub's culture. that means the glenn thread is the last place on the internet that is a true free speech zone. and you would attack that? truly, fascism has come to cspam, to destroy the last thing that makes it unique. if you take that away, how are we any better than the rest of them? if anything we should add more slurs to the accepted list and allow more threads to use them. it's the most obvious, shortest, direct route to both improving post quality, and getting new posters into the site.

I just brought it up because you said it's basically no more offensive than a dozen other things, which in my personal experience isn't really true. Maybe I'm wrong though.

But yeah i mean if people wanna keep doing it they'll keep getting 6ers or whatever, i don't have an opinion on that part of it one way or another.

You use a word that others here and elsewhere have repeatedly told you is more hurtful than other words you could choose in the same circumstance. They have concluded that you use that word specifically because you want to hurt them more than you otherwise would.

Personally, I think you call people retards because you like being a contrarian and think you're proving a point or needling mods with it. I can tell you that at this point hitting you with a 6er for that is, at worst, a chore for us. Like, you made a mess and now we have to clean it up.

I'm legit not sure how you can read what other people are saying in here and go "yeah, it's good and right to keep calling people retards". I used to call people retards too, I stopped, so did a lot of other people, and I hope you can too.

Why Would I be offended? Are you trying to call me retarded without calling me retarded? Yeah I think you specifically should be banned for it every time considering your rap sheet.

I just don't want using that word as an insult to become normalized and have more and more people think it's cool and good to say or whatever.
