Modern use

Retard has transitioned from an impartial term to one that is negatively loaded. For this reason, it is now widely considered degrading even when used in its original context.

Most commonly when retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use retard when they want to call their friend stupid, an idiot, or a loser. This use of the word retard is the part of what the campaigners are trying to attack. The campaigners are trying to make everyone understand that retard is a derogatory term no matter the context.

How's Fiala doing? I didn't know he was called up

He literally just went into the box, lol.

He's no worse than the rest of the Preds' alleged goal-scorers, but for some reason they like sending him back down to the AHL at the first sign of trouble. It's baffling.
