is the R word a "slur" against? I'm failing to comprehend how a word can universally be a slur without the definition or origin of the word being derogatory.

I'm failing to see why I have 2 violations for a word I was using in context of it's definition:

people who used the term specifically to belittle/invalidate mentally handicapped people to a gross extent.


I'm loving the blatant refusal of anyone on this side to provide an example of this happening on this site.

no one will attempt to make a rebuttal against my last post because it's literally impossible, The word crazy when used to a friend is just saying you're wacky, wild, ect. If used against a person with a mental disability it's a slur. The R word is the exact same, so how is crazy still allowed? someone tell me


different words carry different weights. you don't get to decide what's offensive and what's not. hope this helps.


so who decided R is offensive?


people who used the term specifically to belittle/invalidate mentally handicapped people to a gross extent.


don't certain people do the same with the term crazy, against people with mental disabilities? why don't we completely blacklist the word crazy from mafia games then unconditionally

I don't, n is a term specially used against black people during slavery and during the time of the jim crow law, and in part still today in america mostly.

R and crazy have no correlation because R was a term used for people who have learning disabilities while crazy is for people who have MENTAL disabilities


you're literally arguing semantics over a word you brought into this discussion in the first place which only serves to invalidate your initial point. you equated the two words to begin with so i entertained that line of thought. christ almighty.


you compared race & disabilities to prove a point.


in your own words, you compared learning disabilities and mental disabilities to prove a point.

by the way, learning disabilities are a category of mental disabilities you twit.

my initial point still stands and you've now gone in a circle and destroyed your own attempt at refuting it.

instead of arguing over what words are offensive and what aren't, we should be discussing how to change the rules around to be a little more fair.

we're not like those cartoons your mom watched when she was little. everyone has a different body type. women are gay. our main protagonist is fat. his love interest is colored. are you interested yet? no? let's add musical numbers, that will really hit with the ratings. we are trying so hard to please to the millenial audience, please watch our colorful and special snowflake of a cartoon show despite it not being funny or entertaining in the slightest

R word, crazy, stupid, insults in general are all equal which is what you're failing to comprehend. Insults are insulting to someone other than the person being responded to which is what you're ignoring in your protest of the use of a single word.

You're being a dense hypocrite now.


in the way my English professor has explained it today. Words have different levels on how they're understood. You need to remember the audience here is high school to undergrad college each from different backgrounds.
