You can say whatever you want but people are going to judge you for it.
Most people here prefer to use inclusive language that doesn’t make anyone feel unwelcome.
People with actual mental deficiencies exist on Lemmy and it may or may not hurt them to use words like this.
If it hurts even one good person then it’s probably just worth increasing your vocabulary to avoid that.
Not too mention imo suggesting someone is actually “retarded” means they should be treated with understanding and patience. People who are deliberately ignorant don’t deserve that patience.
