The word “Retard” is used to offend a most likely disabled person. For example: a person that has a learning disability. From personal experience being called a retard is very hurtful to me and it left me thinking I was useless and utterly stupid (which I am but whatever). Just don’t use it unless u can actually use it. It’s a bad slur and yeah for whoever is reading this remember to drink water everyday and have a great day :)
Person 1: what a retard.
Person 2: *is offended and just feels sad now*
Person 3: hey what did He/she/they/ *input pronouns here* Do to u? (person 2)
Person 1: they have a learning disability
Person 3: well that wasn’t very nice. They need an apology.
Person 2: *happy*
Person 1: Sorry dude I noticed that was kinda messed up. Forgive me?
Person 2: yeah now let’s go listen to mindless self indulgence or something
an offensive word used to explain that someone's stupid or doing something dumb. It can be widely viewed as a slur, as it used to be used to degrade those with disabilities. It should not be a commonly used word anymore.
P1: Dude you just killed Orange on cams! You retard!
P2: Bro stop using that word it's offensive as fuck
