Because they are useful words. I'm not going to stop using words that effectively communicate my thoughts or feelings because some dweeb on the internet is a fragile little snowflake, especially since most of them have vocabularies that would make sailors blush.

I know what you mean. I mean, sometimes I just have to express how terrible something is by calling it gay! It's just the word to use! And retarded! You wouldn't call a retard retarded; you call your friends retarded when they're acting retarded, right??

High five, bro!!

DA

Dude, I'm gay as hell and I call things gay all the time. Not everyone's as delicate as you are.

I imagine you're being sarcastic but honestly? Yeah, that's pretty much how it works.

Never being able to use what are regarded by some as slurs in any context is pointless and counterproductive. Words in the English language are capable of bearing more than one meaning, and the meaning of words changes all the time. Like, surely it's a good thing if people start using these words in other contexts rather than using them as slurs? That way you're taking power away from those words and reducing their ability to hurt people.

In time, retarded will probably be on the same level as 'lame' or 'stupid', in that it's only offensive to people who are actively trying to be offended (in fact it pretty much already is where I live). Why do you want to get in the way of that? Why do you want those words to continue being powerful and hurtful?

Looks like this speshul snowflake got triggered.

How do you people live in the real world? Do you just stay in your rooms in a safe little bubble all day getting offended over the internet? Do you honestly think you can stop people from using words that trigger you? How do you watch movies or read books without foaming at the mouth?

Do you ever actually approach people in your life who use words that offend your delicate feelings? Do you think your protest against words being used in way that you don't like makes a damn difference in the world? Do you think everyone is going to stop using words because a little minority on the internet BAWWWWWWWWWWS like a fussy baby about it?

Wake up and face reality.

"gay" and "retarded" are both words that were and are applied to groups within the last 10 years, "lame," "dumb," and "stupid" are so divorced from their original contexts that to compare the two is ridiculous. when you say something is "gay," it's understood that something is bad because gay is bad. when you say something is "lame," it's understood that it's bad, not because being unable to walk is bad, but because the word lame has developed its own definition and has for decades. almost no one uses "dumb" as a synonym for "mute" anymore, so the original association isn't even there. "gay" and "retarded" have no such separation.

(as an aside, maybe at some point in the future "gay" and "retarded", or at least the latter since it's not being used in its original context very much though the former is, will become thusly divorced from their original meanings - but that day is not today)
