the word retard, is like in my perspective I dont see it as like a slur that much, and instead I see it as like a normal swear word.
I think it is a slur because it's very commonly used as such
Yes, it was originally a medical term as far as my research goes, but i think it's important to notice that the term is outdated and has very much shriveled into a derogatory word directed towards disabled or autistic individuals.
I think the first thing that should be looked over is what a slur means
"a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people."
the r slur can very easily slip into this category, being that it's used as a derogatory term to call someone slow
Another thing to note is that since the r slur is an outdated medical term for disabled individuals, it's still offensive to call someone the r slur in an insulting manner because you are, technically, calling them disabled as an insult which can easily come off as ableism.
(As an autistic person whos been called the r slur their entire life i think im allowed to have an opinion on this)
ALSO i'd like to note that i am not at all trying to attack you
where i live it has a different meaning, everyone says it its sorta a term of endearment like no one rlly takes it seriously
thats js how i grew up w it
i wouldnt go out of my way to tell someone who’s mentally/physically disabled that they’re retarded, it’s more smt i’d call my friends for thinking smt so simple that it sounds stupid ykwim
u can agree or disagree w me idm but thats my opinion
Where I live, it's also kinda used in that same sort of context, I understand different places may have different usages of words and stuff
Like fag for example, some places the word fag means a bundle of sticks or a cigarette.
I personally believe that regardless of what way it's used, it's still a slur
It's like calling someone gay as an insult, for example, that can come off as offensive to many
That's just my opinion, though, and it's fine if we don't agree with each other, as long as these opinions dont spiral into a hatred for eachother, that's all that matters to me /nm
