It’s not ablist to call someone what they are. I use ‘retarded’ to mean someone who is supposed to know better, not as a blanket term for legit disabilities.
The explanation is simple: Virtually no babies/children are as quick as adults for the simple fact that their brains are smaller and less developed, and they have far less real world experience. Therefore everyone starts life tarded. If someone is choosing to be tarded as an adult, they are quite literally re-tarded, by choice. The derrogatory nature of the term is fully intended towards obstensively “normal” people.
Retards NEED to do better. People with disabilities are probably already doing better applying themselves than any retard, unless their disability involves cripling self-loathing.
You know fully well what that term implies and that it’s offensive and you choose entirely not to care. I honestly thought Lemmy was better than this but I guess that’s truly on me. My bad.
No, no there’s not and you are simply fucking retarded for thinking so.
Imo the ablist language was really unnecessary.
