man is it just me or is the r word making a comeback
Well the medical people stopped using it so it only makes sense, yeah.
Like when they stopped using ‘idiot’ and ‘moron’, those words became socially acceptable to use again.
Just wait until you hear the kids say “Bro, are you developmentally handicapped?”
Unfortunately yes… I noticed an uptick in usage after musk started using it openly.
It never went away
Republican?
“Man, you on the Tylenol huh” sounds way funnier anyway
Assigned Tylenol At Birth.
Except many autistic people have higher than average intelligence.
Ok? I don’t dislike autistic people. Feels more of a shot at RFK while also getting to insult someone. Also, you get to avoid using a taboo word.
Unfortunately been seeing it and hearing it from others lately.
It is slowly catching back on.
since OP appears to be one of Ze Germans, i’m going to take the charitable interpretation that they were probably not aware of the connotation

Even worse they censor fuck but leave the R one in.

Censor a swear word but leave in the slur? Feels like right-wing humor.

How is it a slur?
EvilBit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s demeaning to an entire population. Pretty much the definition of a slur.
