I use it. I don’t care. Retarded people don’t get mad at the word. It’s non- retards getting offended on their behalf.
I say gay and fag a lot as well. I don’t care. Weirdly though, I never refer to actual homosexuals that way, just straight guys who are acting unmanly in some way.
I say nigger, but only singing along with Biggie and Tupac. And Yoko’s “Woman is the nigger of the world.”
Everything you said was awful.
context / intent is king, homes
Everything you said was awful.
Yes! Context is king.
But you got dark and weird with it.
Talking about retards and such.
There is a fun sci-fi element to be had. But you got mean with it.
Not sure if I am a winner on this topic..
I actually strictly use the IRL, and even then I don’t get many opportunities to say it.
Online you can use a variety of other words: Autist, Sperg, Mongoloid, Smoothbrain, Brainlet, Headass, Exceptional Individual, Brap, etc.
Honestly “retard” isn’t that bad.

does anyone use this word in relation to an actual handicap person? feel like the word has a different meaning now when used in a derogatory and non-derogatory manner.
like someone who is mentally capable; doing something unfathomably stupid or a situation that is outlandish. but also the word retard is used commonly in music terminology for slowing tempo.
similarly to the word lame, i remember when i was a kid learning that it had an original meaning.
This is the reason I still use it. You can never get rid of the negative context it is used in, only move it to another word.Yes I still use it, not in everyday convo with people I don't know of course, just like I wouldn't swear in those situations.
I'm not sure why you aren't supposed to use the word. Should stupid be banned because it makes stupid people feel bad?
And even if you take away words like retard, what do you think would happen? People would just use new words, for example using autistic as an insult, or handicapped, etc. and then we would be told we can't use the word autistic any more.
