Exactly. Plus they are also easily baited (proving the retarded moron part) because that one was a very obvious bait.

I guess I'm an SJW then. Oh well.

DA

Then I probably am too. This is a sort spot for me because of my uncle.

It's like saying, "You know what I hate? Faggots!" and then calling everyone who called you out on it stupid for "falling for the bait."

No it isn't. Using faggot as an insult to gay people is offensive and should be condemned. Same with calling a person with a disibility 'retard'. Using retarded as an insult is not offensive. Just like saying that something is lame isn't ableist. Context.

So using an insult that's associated with a certain group against a person from that group is bad but insulting other people with it and thereby implying that they are like the people from that group is fine?

I've never understood this logic.

reminds me of that episode of south park about using the word faggot. wouldn't be surprised if they were operating on that logic.

You don't understand rhis. When I'm calling someone a retard, I'm not saying 'You have a mental disability', I'm just saying 'You're stupid'.

Words change, add new meanings and forget some old ones. When some says 'hysterical', they mean uncontrollably emotional, no 'neurotic condition peculiar to women and thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus', the original meaning of the word.

I understand that but there's often a debate about how far each particular word has drifted from its origin, and not just from SJWs.

I've heard from enough people with mental disabilities who are hurt by the use of that word that I don't like it. I think they're the ones who get to choose if it's moved far enough away from the original meaning or not. Obviously you have a different opinion on that.

But this seems to be a different argument than the one I was referring to above so I'm still confused about that

This is a classic case of "Not Getting It".

The word "retard" has not changed in the slightest and you just demonstrated that. You are using it to refer to someone as "stupid," which is a common mischaracterization of people who have mental disabilities. You ARE equating the two, and on top of that, you're speaking for the mentally disabled by assuming that it can't possibly be offensive.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure why us SJWs are so stupid for telling you that you should probably be considerate of different people if you want to be considered a kind person to begin with. What's wrong with apologizing when you've made someone feel bad? What's wrong with trying to correct your language so you don't hurt anyone's feelings? What's wrong with trying to correct systems that misrepresent and erase anyone but white cismales?

If you're trying to insult someone by calling them one of the people who gives a shit, then don't be surprised when that someone laughs in your face.

Lol, why the hell do you think the word means 'stupid'.
