      “Fucktard” is an ableist slur? Not sure I’m following. Oh, because it’s similar to “retard?” So “fuckwad” is okay then?

          It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I didn’t consider it at all the same word anymore than I consider “pedophile” and “bibliophile” the same word. I don’t see how “fucktard” disparages developmentally challenged people.

              Plus “Fucktard” isn’t a word.

              Honestly, that’s my biggest issue. Wherever it came from, are developmentally challenged people really having an issue with it - consider it “ableist?” Not a rhetorical question, I’m completely ignorant here.

                  Wow, that’s a total mischaracterization of what I said. I’m asking if the community who you’re saying is being slurred actually considers it a slur.

        Yeah it’s not the same as just outright saying “retard” but it’s still ableist. Fuckwad is totally fine though, however you wanna cuss is fine just now ya know

        I typed that while sitting on a park bench and enjoying the sunshine! When have you gone outside lately? Remember: don’t insult disabled people by comparing them to evil people.
