I don't really understand what "r-slurs" has to do with their actions? Is retard a source of power? Is that why lib-tards clutch their pearls over it?

ate poo poo on live tv posted:I don't really understand what "r-slurs" has to do with their actions? Is retard a source of power? Is that why lib-tards clutch their pearls over it? not exactly, but there's been myths about things like this for a long time and it crops up in the most unexpected of places. i dated a lady that was kind of dumb, said she had to take an iq test and didn't do great but did well enough to stay in regular classrooms. let's call her Denise. anyway, we dated for a few weeks before we finally slept together. i was really looking forward to it because it was clear she was quite fit. we work ourselves up and as soon as we start i see a blinding flash of light and blackout. i wake up like 12 hours later in the hospital with no idea how i got there, but Denise was there waiting, surprisingly. she calls for a doc to come and then won't say one word to me. the doc comes in and checks my chart and quickly hides a smirk. i ask why i'm in the hospital and she looks at me, then at Denise, then back to me. "You don't know? Given your injury I assumed you two were doing some risky stuff." i ask what the hell that's supposed to mean, so the doc continues, "Well, your penis was crushed flat and suffered penile fractures in several places. We were able to surgically repair it, but it'll be a few months before you can start having sex again. You'll be released in a few hours with some pain meds and instructions on how to care for it." i was dumbfounded. i had no idea how the hell this happened, but then i realize that Denise had been getting redder and redder while the doctor was speaking. after the doctor left i asked her what the gently caress happened. "... so you know how I was did pretty badly on IQ tests as a kid? it turns out my trade off for that is having incredibly strong vaginal muscles. i got a retard strength vagina". "just like my genderbent goku fanfic" i whisper. anyway, that relationship didn't work out. Admiral Ray has issued a correction as of 20:51 on Jan 27, 2021 |

this thread is 23 pages and mostly poo poo posts so apologies, I didn’t read all of it. I’m mostly a lurker on here, but enjoy reading CSPAM. Most of the posts I’ve seen on here have been people mocking the idea of not using the r word. It reminds me of a thread about 14 years ago in GBS where someone asked about stopping use of the f-slur against gay people (and yes, I don’t feel comfortable using the words myself). A bunch of people dogpiled the OP, called them the f-slur, and then Lowtax himself weighed in to say that the f slur was fine to use. He may have then used it against the OP, I don’t remember. Regardless, a great mind had weighed in. My mother spent her career working in special education. In my house, the r word was treated the same as the worse kind of curse word. I work in mental health, and the field consciously chose to abandon the r word over a decade ago due to its connotations. Yes, you can argue that this is just a race against time and that whatever new terms we use will eventually become slurs. That is true. It’s also true that slurs from the past have lost their meaning in the present. It’s also true that policing words does not affect material conditions. A lot of people have seized on comparisons to other words like the n-word to do some kind of oppression olympics on “how dare you compare these words!” Frankly, I see most of these arguments as D&Desque lawyering, or the equivalent of “I’m not touching you!” while you hold your hand a half inch from someone’s face. Is it bourgeois to argue about word usage? I don’t know, maybe? I also know in various working class jobs I’ve had that people were able to understand reasons for not using certain words. I don’t think a lot of people with intellectual disabilities are posting on CSPAM. Maybe some folks on here have family or friends with intellectual disabilities. Personally, I can say that the people I’ve know and worked with who have intellectual disabilities would be very bothered by me using the r-word to insult people. CSPAM to me is meant to be the forum for people so radically left that they hate posting in D&D. what kind of radical leftist is going to go that far but then vehemently argue against changing wording for the benefit of others? If someone tells your mispronouncing a word from another language, do you not correct it? Or do you stamp your feet and declare that it’s pronounced your way in your country and culture and that it’s foolish and stupid to change? What is the personal cost to you to not use a word? Even if you think it’s a meaningless gesture overall, do you refuse to recognize the people whom it hurts who would rather you not use it? Marx did not write about seizing the slurs of production. Mao did not do a long n-word march. I don’t get it. I don’t think it’s a slippery slope of thought censorship. maybe it opens up conversation to other changes in language. One other thought. How do you feel about people calling you a liberal? Because as far as American discourse goes, that’s what everyone here is. a liberal. does it bother you? do you want another term? Words matter. it’s not that hard to use other terms. yes, language evolves, but standing still and declaring that you’re going to never evolve in protest is childish. that’s my two cents. fr0id has issued a correction as of 01:48 on Jan 28, 2021 |

ikanreed posted:So the real question I have is whether it's still a term with clinical usages. Certainly doctors still use it as an adjective to describe growth that's not as fast as typical, but do mental health professionals use to describe undiagnosed early age milestone misses? since I’m looking at this thread, no it’s no longer used, with caveats. The diagnostic manual in the us has changed to “intellectual disability.” Some nonprofits have existing contracts as business names that include “retard” or “retardation” in their title. These have not changed due to various bureaucratic reasons, but have basically been erased from any kind of contemporary advertising. The term may also be used medically for cases of slowed or delayed development. It is absolutely no longer used in actual clinical practice, except possibly by people who are so out of touch as to be deemed ethically incompetent. I should clarify. It is no longer used in any clinical practice to refer to mental development. fr0id has issued a correction as of 02:00 on Jan 28, 2021 |

I definitely have psychiatric disorders that more than one octogenarian would call me r-word over without skipping a beat so I think I get a pass, it is my birthright and anyone who criticizes me is obviously coming from a place of privilege and has deep seated ableism in their bones.

Its still fun to mock idiots who think banning it means anything or that its equivalent to the n word.
