        No :). Looking through your comment history, I’ll let you know that I understand adolescence is tough. I really hope you grow up to be a better person than you are now. Have the day you deserve friend!

          I love how much you’ve assumed from nothing. How’s that thin skin working for you?

              Clearly not well as you keep replying to my comment. Some may say you’re retarded

      The euphemism treadmill can piss right off. Following the logic of “banning” the dreaded “R-word” why aren’t people also brigading against the previous victims of said euphemism treadmill? Words like “slow” “idiot” “stupid” “moron” “imbecile” etc. Retard isn’t even the latest one in the line! Professionals don’t use “mentally retarded” in a clinical setting anymore. I would never call someone with an actual disability “retarded”. Not to their face and especially not behind their back…

      Oh! And trying to make it a “word-that-must-not-be-named”, implying similar connotations to the "N-word" (“removed” for completeness sake) is just… No.

      That I also find stupid (whoops) by the way. Beating around the bush with euphemisms for words like that just gives them even more power…

      Edit: Oh wow… Lemmy censors that even in actual language discourse? Not impressed. Not impressed at all…
