Me in April:

I actually believe it. It’s an insult to people with actual mental and cognitive disabilities to put them in a category with those motherfuckers

The realest thing I’ve ever heard on this app actually

You can't just recontextualize the word like that because people still use it against autistic/neurodivergent people. You cannot just take away the context of the word just use a different fucking word it is not that hard

I said that it should be reserved for bigots (racists, sexists, homophobes, islamaphobes etc) and niggas had my ass for that.

We got the 👑 himself 🥲

Call me a bad person but I whole heartedly agree I always hated that we couldnt describe a dumb mathafucka as a retard nomore cuz they classified that as a disability like gang I never think about special needs kids when I’m calling a stupid mf retarded cuz I don’t associate them

“when i hear nigger i don’t think of black people i think of people that commit crimes and play loud music”

Where I’m from I’ve never heard anyone use that word to describe ppl with special needs ngl

It’s more about where the word comes from, it originated as an insult against people with disabilities. Pooh Shiesty is the type of person that comes to my mind when I think of that word, but the history & origin of it matters more, just better off just not saying it tbh.

I can see this way of thinking i just wish people were more educated on the history of abuse disabled people have had to go through. Physically and mentally disabled people have been abused in every way for thousands of years and the history of the word retardation or retard

Me fighting the supreme urge to use the r word when talking to stupid niggas and failing in my weakest moment

This is a bad argument 😂😂

We do need something harsher than stupidity 😂

According to Webster’s dictionary there are roughly 1 million words in the English language. With some experts saying it may be more like 750,000. This behavior is a reflection of not knowing enough words to communicate your point. It’s the same thing children do.

Y’all must be 18. That R word was getting flown around everywhere… and we knew what it meant

retard/retardation literally just means slow. not only is it a scientific term for mentally delayed ppl, it’s also a musical term meant to signify a dragging or slowing down of the music. yes i’m gonna continue calling dumb niggas slow bc that’s what they are.

It's how I use it. I use it to describe the willfully ignorant. Just like with Nigga. Take the word back and use it more appropriately

The problem is that for the word to hurt like you need it to the meaning behind it must be true. And that only works if you think something very bad about the association with that word. When you say that word you have a type in mind but you aren’t willing to verbalize that.

Dis how I feel about “maggot” wit a f. When I hear or say dat I never think about openly gay ppl, dats strictly reserved for dudes who claim to be straight but do gay shit and may be hiding sumn

When I say retarded I picture grown men with guns forcing contract signings like it’s a bad movie plot, not folks who actually need support.

Retards are people who don’t know they’re dumb and people who claim disabilities when there are none.

Well done

When I say "bitch" I'm rarely referring to women.

Why do so many men have podcasts bro go fix a car or SOMETHING

Like that F word

So happy we back using that word

Wtf

This is the same idiotic logic that people use with the work Nigga btw…

It’s like we know why and how the word was used before but it shouldn’t have been for that. It SHOULD BE for dumbasses.

This shit FRYIN me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I most def still use the word but only bc I know how

ppl always knew what it meant. Some just didn't directly say it to autistic n etc. But mfs knew exactly what they was doing. Everytime. The beauty of it all is...when the day comes n you gotta deal with your child or some else with it. Then you'll see it from our eyes.
