Well if it wasnt u then i guess poor timing didnt bother to check so guess im retarded if anyone is. And no i was simply showing that your argument for why the other words are fine applies equally to "retard".

If thats the case how can we hope to police words in a fair and representative manner?
Man u got no idea. Apparently the mods think its ok to advocate for violence as long as its towards elon musk but nobody else.
Words change meaning fpr instance idiot and moron still technically mean retarded but through schoolyard insults using them we have changed the meaning to no longer be offensive to any particular group. Why is retard any different from these other words? Also i would recommend reading 1984 for a more nuanced perspective of language policing.
Well the rules of most lwmmy communities say no slurs so you calling it a slur absolutly is telling people what they can or cant do.
So hows retard any different?
Welp ur half right here is what doctor duck duck go says :
moron /môr′ŏn″/
noun
A person who is considered foolish or stupid.
A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
idiot /ĭd′ē-ət/
noun
A person who is considered foolish or stupid.
A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
Can a black person call themselves an nword tho? Or are you going yo tell them what they can and cant do like the old days?
It was enough musk spam those comments are wild with full on people calling for his death.
