caninesapien Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 you're the same guy that was defending your use of calling things gay awhile back. but you have a problem with how people use the word "retard"? No, that wasn't me. Why did you think that? I wouldn't ever defend the use of the word "gay" as a derogatory term or an insult.

caninesapien Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 but it's also an acceptable insult. Also, how is it acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo 2 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 but it's also an acceptable insult. Only when there's no chance of offending those around you. Public use can be offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'll never understand why people are so precious about defending their perceived right to use the word "retard". Does it really mean that much to you that you can't use another, non-offensive word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defense is usually something like "the intention is more important" but if their intention isn't to offend they'd know not to protect an offensive word in the first place.

WAXXX Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 No, that wasn't me. Why did you think that? I wouldn't ever defend the use of the word "gay" as a derogatory term or an insult. thought it was you. no biggie. Also, how is it acceptable? it's an acceptable insult, meaning it does what it is intended to do: insult. I'll never understand why people are so precious about defending their perceived right to use the word "retard". Does it really mean that much to you that you can't use another, non-offensive word? offending someone is one of the reasons you would use an insult. are you implying that it's never acceptable to use an insult? all insults are offensive by their very nature. it doesn't matter if the word is retard, stupid, idiot, moron, fucktard, etc... they are all insults meant to offend. there aren't any non-offensive substitutes when it comes to an insult.

Bladewillisisdead Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The point is using those "insults" innsults entire groups of people who aren't the person you're insulting. So while we work to remove the stigma from those words, you're reinforcing them. Seriously, no one cares what you say to like your shitty friends or whatever, but using those words publicly is shitty and will get you called out.

It makes kids (in particular) feel like they need to be a certain way or there's something wrong with them. There's no wrong way to be any gender. There's also no right way. It's also shitty to associate strength with being a man and weakness with being a woman. emacs, texan4life, anthemforadoomed and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 the one useful thing about people who use the word "retard" as an insult is that it lets decent people know to avoid the person using that term, because they are an idiot. i'm getting old and damn all these young whippersnappers telling me what i can and can't say. feelings are important but overrated. yes, your right to use whatever word you wish is definitely more important than basic human decency.
