i will ALWAYS stand by this bc i lowk didnt even know these were slurs until a couple months ago.. like its just so stupid how these ppl turned literally normal words into slurs.. snowflake behaviour icl
the fact that retard started off as a medical term says alot tbh like it was used as a term to describe mentally disabled ppl and ppl said "oh ppl used to too much for swearing we have to ban it" LIKE BRO if we're using that logic then isnt schizo and fatty a slur? yeah LOL
as for dyke... nb even knows what it is LOL search it up rn u wont see nothing abt lesbians. Ok bye
The lengths people go to to be unnecessarily vulgar instead of substituting these words for any of the other 1,000,000+ words in the English language is so ridiculous to me.
You either never paid attention in 2nd grade English class when you were taught about synonyms and you're just an idiot, or you're just lazy and mean by choice. 1 reply
Technically yes, but it's the connotation that matters. In my country we use 'special' (short for special needs) as an insult in reference to the medical term, and retarded is used as 'mega fuckin stupid'(like dunce). But for other places around the world its different. 1 reply
when I first came accross the word "retard" I didn't know the meaning so I looked it up and I was surprised, why are they using it like that?? -_- reply
