I’m gonna just block you. I hope you take an English class someday and learn to pick apart that dumbass take, because I’m not doing it for you.

Think about this: Why is it alright to call someone a moron, or an idiot, or an imbecile? Nobody ever goes after these, and they are more often used to denegrate people based on their intellect.
This entire “r-word” campaign is very stupid. By the way, there’s another one I just used. I bet you use that one, too, don’t you?

I feel that you relating that word to the mentally handicap ( I assume) instead of the willfully ignorant speaks more about you than anyone else.

Nah I got no issue with the word (unless its directed at an actual human person, which the meme is not). What I have an issue is with people who type paragraphs when they are told not to use that word. Gonna block you too by the way.

As someone who is clinically mentally disabled, I’ve never been offended by this so long as it’s not targeting a human being (being used in the pejorative to describe a neurotically person.) Why does it offend you? I’m genuinely asking.
