An ableist word used to mock/insult people with disabilities.
Don't say it. Normal people know it's wrong, because it is. If you say it unironically, you're most likely a teen who does it to be cool and edgy. No, you aren't.
Person A: Says the R-Slur
Person B: Dude, don't say that.
Person A: Stop being such a snowflake and SJW!!!! It's not a slur people are just sensitive on the internet nowadays!!! Can we just go back to where times were simpler and we could've been racist and ableist without being called out?!?! Smh.
Person B: What the fuck
The r-slur : r**tard is used against disabled people and is increasingly hurtful it is mostly used by high school sometimes middle school kids who think it’s funny to use a slur. It originated from the word mental retardation Which was a medical term in 1961 for people with intellectual disabilities, through the years it has become a insult used way to frequently in everyday language. people who use it often have absolutely no regard for the damage their doing
In 2010 Barack Obama signed Rosas law which changed the word mental retardation to intellectual disability
Person : ur such a r**tard
Decent human being : don’t say the r-slur it is hurtful to people with intellectual disabilities
Ps : I know it might be hard to speak up about it I find it hard myself too. That’s why next time I hear someone say it I’m going to build up all my courage and try to educate them!
a moment from shinyodd's birthday stream on July 21 2024 where someone from chat asked about a "r slur controversy" as one of the options in a Google doc that was the pinned comment of his Forza motorsport 2024 video happened to say "fat retard" and latter shinny to the replies only find one person was complaining and then went on to explain that if gay people can say the gay f word then Neurodivergents could say the r slur
The R slur is used towards people with mental disabilities(like nd people for an example) it’s used to be ableist but sadly it’s normalized
bitch: You’re such a r*tard
Actually decent person:Don’t say that it’s offensive!
bitch:lol it’s just a word
anyways be an actual decent person, the r slur is offensive to us ND people and more.
