i literally know people like that. guy that got banned off twitter repeatedly for fighting homophobes but won't drop the r slur. people are wild sometimes.
This is like everyone born between 1985 and 1992 lol.
Under Trump it was verboten in left spaces to say the r word, and then Biden got elected and overnight all the stupidpol types breathed a sigh of relief and went back to dropping slurs. It’s like they all had to pretend to be good to differentiate themselves from Trump but then the pressure disappeared and they returned to their default setting
People getting offended are just dummies because....? I don't remember the kids who needed special assistance in elementary school being called cretin or imbecile when being harassed but i do remember the r slur.
Not up to you what or why people get offended but this one specifically has real passion behind it for a lot of people.
Ignoring the rest of my statement. Classic.
It was irrelevant
There’s a qualitative difference between an able bodied person who just isn’t very bright or doesn’t put a lot of thought into things VS. a person with a mental disability. Idiot, stupid, dumb, etc. in the modern context are used to describe the former, while the r-word is used to describe the latter
The words were all created to explain the latter.
Lots of ableist language is acceptable, therefore the word with arguably the most contemporary relevance that offended the most people should also be acceptable.
Is this what you're saying or, no? If it is, it's nonsensical unless you place the funny phonics over the mental well-being of a disadvantaged group
