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:

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


certain people use the term "black" in a derogatory manner.

to call someone idiot, is to imply and compare them to the demographic the word was designed for (mentally ill)

The smug that resonates from some of these SJW posts is insufferable.

Like using r is still worse than crazy, and I dont think people would take crazy as an insult much unless its a trigger or something. Thats like saying calling smart people "nerds" is a slur or something.

Really the R word is actually used to diagnose people so like...stop

the perfectly sound logic to its offensiveness goes as follow:

to call someone idiot, is to imply and compare them to the demographic the word was designed for (mentally ill)

to insult someone with idiot, is to imply that to be an idiot is a bad thing, or a lesser person

therefore, the direct implication is that being mentally ill is bad or makes you a lesser person

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


...then why not just say crazy?


the point literally flew over your head

the people who are worried about the tumblr boogeyman and millennials are just as silly as the people who are worried about society never fitting their picture-perfect mental image of what it should be

you can very well find a website, place, or even group of people where you may say the r word and other slur you can imagine, but do you really have an issue with not saying it here?


Have you played this game lately? The difference between us is I'm not a coward or pus so I'm not scared to step on toes or be offensive in game. I am however one use of the R word away from being forum banned. I doubt you could use all you comp hearts on a daily basis without agreeing with me though.
