“Retarded” as a descriptive term has gotten a lot of flak for the last couple decades, mostly by the bleeders that wear their hearts on their sleeves. The word itself is not do much an insulting denigration as it is a succinct label. And we all use labels for everything and everybody

Huh? Those are both completely different topics than anything said here.
We’re talking about a label used to describe people that used to “okay”. I compare the r word to the n word because they both fit the description of an old label that the “labeled” people don’t want to be called by anymore. Anyone who insists on using it after being asked not to can go fuck off a cliff.
