Which is exactly the way he used it there. In fact I've never in my life heard a common person use that word in any other way than that.
You can use any word in a mocking way.

That’s the point I’m making.

It sounded more like one of those political correctness rants people tend to make especially when the subject of their rant doesn't apply to them directly. Nobody should be taking the mentally handicap and turning their situation into an insult to hurl at people.

I get it. A lot of people use words and give little thought to what they're actually saying. When you become an adult you shouldn't be speaking brainlessly.

Retarded is a legitimate word with a real meaning.

The only reason it became politically incorrect to say it is because people would use the word in a mocking way.
Yeah low key i was watching block of 80s commercials and this commercial came on saying "Please donate to help the retarded children".

I was like..

Sam Jay had a bit about the word in her last stand up special
One of the few words I'm actually mad it's not acceptable to say anymore. People barely even used it on handicapped people and if it's not even the proper term for them then we should be allowed to use it against non handicapped ppl still

:mjlol:
nikkas used to throw that shyt around back in the day as a normal slur.

I work in my school’s SPED department. I will say that kids these days don’t tease each other bout being in a special Ed class. They actually help out with them kids :ehh: (at least at the schools I’ve worked at)
This is some real shyt actually. For as much as people shyt on this youngest generation, and criticize them for being soft, they (generally) act with a level of empathy that my generation surely didn’t operate with when I was that age.

There’s nothing wrong with the word retarded.

It’s a legitimate word.

People just decided it was politically incorrect because of feelings.
You say that as if it wasn’t a common insult until like 10 yrs ago. The context it’s used in matters
