  The upvotes tell a different story than your manufactured narrative, which was pushed with a lot of money around ten to fifteen years ago to villlify a word.

  Think about this: Why is it alright to call someone a moron, or an idiot, or an imbecile? Nobody ever goes after these, and they are more often used to denegrate people based on their intellect.

  This entire “r-word” campaign is very stupid. By the way, there’s another one I just used. I bet you use that one, too, don’t you?

      As someone who is clinically mentally disabled, I’ve never been offended by this so long as it’s not targeting a human being (being used in the pejorative to describe a neurotically person.) Why does it offend you? I’m genuinely asking.

    I’m gonna just block you. I hope you take an English class someday and learn to pick apart that dumbass take, because I’m not doing it for you.

      I feel that you relating that word to the mentally handicap ( I assume) instead of the willfully ignorant speaks more about you than anyone else.

        Nah I got no issue with the word (unless its directed at an actual human person, which the meme is not). What I have an issue is with people who type paragraphs when they are told not to use that word. Gonna block you too by the way.

      Here’s a free English lesson: Retard: To delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment.
