To be fair, your use of the R word as a pejorative reduces your credibility as a moral compass. I do agree with your overall point though.
Since I have been a child the word retard has NOT been used for people with developmental disabilities, it has only ever been used to describe people who've done something incredibly stupid that they had the capacity not to do. In fact, I have worked with low and high functioning people with developmental disabilities, and one of the high function people actually told me to use the word when he's being stupid, as I was using the word goof before, and that had unfortunate prison meanings that the resident didnt like.
2023 now… doesn’t matter what it used to be.
God I fucking hate "it's current year stop doing x"
The year isn't a fucking argument, dipshit retard
It’s generally intended to mean “pull your head out of your ass, what was once acceptable is no longer.”
Glad I was able to spell that out for you.
