i’ve been censored as ableist for saying idiot, moron and stupid… idiot and moron were once medical terms too.
how am i supposed to properly say “very not intelligent”?
“derp” was kinda popular for a minute, but i think that was making fun of the types of sounds mentally handicapped people make.furthermore, scientifically, retarded means slowed down… flame retardant, retarded plant growth, etc… the problem isn’t the terminology, it’s how people use it. A bunch of kids picking on a disabled kid called him any name for being that way is evil. Someone acknowledging their own folly and using that term isn’t evil.
and before the n-word comes in, that’s completely different because that word was used as part of a system of slavery and oppression.
i guess it’s worthwhile to be sensitive of people’s feelings even when you don’t agree with all of it… like, im not going to show the bottom of my shoe to an arab person… but trying to be the politically correct word police isn’t usually either.
every negative word is offensive. for some people it’s full on triggering. i knew someone with bipolar who would occasionally, while manic, act like a total asshole… like deliberately… but then the word “asshole” became triggering for him, making him full on melt down… because people kept calling him an asshole when he acted like it.
but should nobody call an asshole an asshole because it hurts their feelings to be referred to as someone who hurts people’s feelings? (i’ll never call him that again).the whole thing is retarded and has missed the point of being nice to people… not erasing words that can be used meanly.
(p.s. i’m far far faaar leftist, but i don’t believe in coating the entire planet with nerf foam)

I think the accepted term is “conservative”.
The R word has been flagged by that community as hurtful, and when people who are in the group say “ouch”, we listen.
I don’t think they care about the terms stupid, idiot, moron, dummy, fool, or dunce.

Not by me. Words change meaning (both connotation and denotation) over time and right now, the R word in relation to humans is considered a no no. This might change, the word might change its connotation again or might disappear completely and another word takes its place, who knows. This isn’t about what words could mean or used to mean or mean in very different contexts but what they mean here and now.
But maybe the problem about the meme is that it makes fun of “very not intelligent” people, as you put it. Maybe it’s not cool to portray them in such a way, with such a face. As you said, things come across differently within different people groups and there are many people on the internet so maybe be a little more cautious there.

Didn’t you hear? The alt right said it’s cool to use the r slur online again!
CMLVI@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
This is fucking killing me right now. Same with “we get to say the F slur again” like…you were never not allowed to say it. The only repercussion was some people fucked with you less, and that’s still the case. Y’all just use it as a battle cry now.
Same mfs were mad that Bud Light made a few cans of gay beer haven’t let go either, but their rules say they get to hold the grudge but Dems can’t be mad at Chic Fil A.

Hey bandit! Perhaps you don’t know the r word is considered offensive. Can you please delete?
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
The upvotes tell a different story than your manufactured narrative, which was pushed with a lot of money around ten to fifteen years ago to villlify a word.
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 love this meme. In addition to being funny on its own, the comments are always full of people typing paragraphs about not being allowed to say the r-word, just so I know to block them. It’s always a great time.
Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 6 hours ago
Your wording is confusing me. Are you talking about blocking people that want to use the r word ? Or blocking the people that are saying nobody should use the r word?
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 hours ago
If someone is writing a paragraph about it, I don’t really care which side they’re on
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 hours ago
The first one, but I also haven’t seen many of the latter unless they are provoked by the first group. And a fun thing about Voyager is that a commenter is blocked, I also cant see any comments responding to them, which may be why I haven’t seen much of the second group.
