    Got a comment removed on reddit, from an otherwise great mod, for the R word. (Jesus, can’t believe I have to type it that way.)

    I was asking another person if they could try slowing the action on their pistol, see if that fixed it.

      No one has issues with the word when it isn’t the slur. If they do, they’re in the wrong. (Yes, using the word as the deprecated medical term is also the slur)

      Pissed off that you can’t use the slur anymore? Blame everyone who used it as an insult, turning it into a slur.

      Angry that things changed? That’s the way things work. Might as well be mad about weather or the movement of time.

        “Retard” is a slur, among elementary school children.

        “But I was called that as a chiiiild! And now I have issuuuuues!”

        No. You were probably a normal kid and got called bad names like everyone else. Get the fuck over it. If you were actually retarded, you likely had no idea what the word meant.

        Y’all didn’t go to school with severely handicapped kids, did ya? In the 70s, we had no where else to put them but among the “general population” of the schools. And no, it wasn’t the prison most of you young folk grew up in.

          I think they’re referring to the verb that is written the same as the noun, but pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable. It means to slow down. It’s commonly used in science and music.
