i think it's kinda weird how the word switched from just being a descriptor to suddenly being super offensive but that's what happened and people should probably just be respectful and let this go.

Well what does that have to do with the actual question of whether or not hurling ableist slurs around is OK?

I don't feel even a little bad about using the artard word, because artards smile at me and say "Hi" when I say it

i'm just gonna say that, even tho i use the word like all the time, i'm aware that it's wrong and i shouldn't be using it, and there's really no need to make anyone else feel worse about their situation, to make them feel hopeless for some deficit, but it's just that i'm so much smarter than you all and it's really frustrating sometimes.....it feels like i'm the victim here

Rain Man isn't allowed either, it uses slur words and therefore it is racist because it reminds us of slave times


That's a bummer. Ah well. Guess I'll just use this website to go play games of internet mafia then.

Devante says

pretty much unless you actually have a mental disability you won't get offended by being called a r.... much like a white person wouldn't really get offended by being called a n


No sh*t, Sherlock


Remember when the thread was called community opinion and I a member of the community gave my opinion you

Maybe those advanced classes they put me in were actually special ed classes called something differently to spare my feelings, and I was artarded enough to believe them


it's not utterly implausible

i guess....it depends on the situation?? lots of people here seem to say it automatically instead of other words because they connect the word to stupidity.

its not a very nice word, and its especially offensive when the name is used for an actual condition. im voting yes
