Hey did you notice the “autism” in my name? Maybe I have more perspective to speak on what words are and aren’t slurs against my group than you do fuckass.
Language evolves. “Mental removedation” is not longer recognized as as medical term, its use in modern times is generally regarded as a slur by the disability community and is treated as such in pretty much all communities that actively try to include neurodiverse people are oppose ableism.
So to answer the question of “ince wshen”. The answer is “for at least a couple decades now”. I was actually hit by my friend with a severely disabled brother for using it back in like 2006.
I am active in the disability rights movement and pretty much all of us that are agree the word is a slur and there is no excuse to be using it. Its not a “word for mental capacity” anymore and hasn’t been in a long time. Plus, insinuating that mental disability is a BAD thing is ableist on its face.
Jesus fuck, people need to grow a spine. There are much more pressing matters to cry about. Half the fucking planet is on fire but no, let’s cry about a word.
I grew up on the obese side, was made fun of for it my entire childhood. Do I get offended when I am called fat? No I laugh it off, because it’s true. At some point it’s better to not be offended all day
We can can care about more than one thing at a time lol. Do you also think black people should just “get over” the n word because global warming exists? Or gay people with the f slur? Do you think that women should stop complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace because global warming exists? Those are often “just words” after all. I care deeply about global warming and want to do things about it, probably more than you do, but that doesn’t mean I have to be ok with words meant to insult and attack me and people like me.
Idk if this rhetoric will work with you because you probably do think those things, at least about the slurs.
This wasn’t about you till you made it about you, you were not the target of a slur. Now fuck off as we would prolly never get along and arguing about something stupid is pointless.
No, I realized they are only words and when you make fun of the thing they are making fun of you for, that thing stops being fun. It’s called psychology
I wasn’t harassing anyone. I called the fucking meme retarded. If your offended by the word, use a word blocker. I’m not censoring myself because you want to be offended. I am offended that people take offence to words. Your offense is what gives the word power. Humbug used to be a slur, guess what it isn’t anymore because ITS A FUCKING WORD.
And I disagree with you. You think Internet peeps are going to change my speech?
I don’t make fun of people because I know how it feels.
I was making fun of a meme for being wholly incorrect. The only person who should take offence to my comment is the dummy who made the meme
And now you’re pointing out that me letting someone know their work is incorrect as harassment? Seriously?
Seems like everyone in this thread is making a mountain out of a damn mole hill
It’s pretty clear the user autism dragon has a spine, that’s why they’re telling you to back off instead of accepting you using a term they find hurtful
That isn’t standing up for one’s self, that is being a Karen.
If you want the internet censored use a word blocker yourself. Till then every last one of y’all can fuck off
Or maybe you just need to stop being a whiny little baby when somebody wants you to adjust your behavior to accommodate other people the tiniest fucking bit. *

Maybe you should take your own advice. My comments are not directed at you in any way. But no you had to go full Karen on me instead
They have the same basic endgoal. Also stop using the r word.
It’s a word describing a lack of mental capacity, get over it ya. You views are pure humbug

Think y’all got me figured out eh? I just think getting offended by words is pointless. Esp when shit isn’t directed towards you…
This wasn’t about you till you made it about you, you were not the target of a slur. Now fuck off as we would prolly never get along and arguing about something stupid is pointless.
Just stop being a weird hostile fuck when someone takes away your comfort slur
Not a comfort, just how I talk. I grew up with retard meaning to be mentally slow or a stupid action. The offence y’all are taking is fucking retarded
No, I realized they are only words and when you make fun of the thing they are making fun of you for, that thing stops being fun. It’s called psychology
multiple things can matter at once

I’m not the one crying over a word that was not directed at anyone in particular. The meme is technically wrong and is stupid
That’s part of my autism I don’t have filters.
Thanks for being the bully in this transaction

being spineless is when stand up for yourself
That isn’t standing up for one’s self, that is being a Karen. If you want the internet censored use a word blocker yourself. Till then every last one of y’all can fuck off
You call being a full Karen having a spine? Lmfao

Pot calling the kettle black… grow up

I sure hope a 3 year old drew that and not you. I’d be embarrassed to post such an idiotic thing
