Then why prove them right?
The burned croissant appearance is a nice touch
Intention I suppose...
What I mean is anyone can be referred to as an idiot or a moron without isolating a select few. When you say "retard" you're not only offending a small group of people, you're offending everyone you call that and the group because you feel those people are lesser.
Don't call yourself that. And that I disagree because those other words can be used to justify a generalization while "retard" is not a generalized word.
And I'm just going to assume what you said is an apology, but you haven't been able to figure how to comfortably apologize to people online. Apology accepted
Whoa whoa whoa. Slowdown. I didn't downvote you. I actually forgot to vote at all
And you're insinuating that I'm a retard because I downvoted you? Take a day from lemmy friend. We all get worked up and I believe you're worked up
Ha! I love it. It looks like that old, grumpy cop that's 3 months from retirement
I'll take half right
I would argue that it's not ok due to the context of the word and self-deprication creates negative feedback loops
Words like moron and idiot can be used as generalized insult. They can be offensive, but it doesn't refer to a certain person or people. Moron and idiot are both defined as being stupid and stupid is defined of lack of intelligence or common sense. The word "retard" refers to people that have mental retardations. The individual person can control being stupid, but they can't control being mentally retarded.
