Thread which used the word "retard"
It's ok to say it here because it has context 🤓
still dont get how that word is considered a slur, everyone on greece uses it on a daily basis lol
Fella; different culture, different mindset. We can move past that. What's normal to you, potentially isn't normal/comfortable to others.
Also, please be respectful.
like i said the r word is used on greece on a daily basis but if it really offends someone im not gonna use it, i just want to try to get behind the reasoning as to why its considered such a bad word, calling someone auti**** is the same exact thing no?
More or less context within the English language, iirc. More often than none, in English, the word is more used as an abuse/degrading context, often in a mocking/sinister tone. Same with the other word. Both are used in a bad/toxic context meant to harm the person.
In australian englisg it's also used very frequently. But the more we understand about being a decent person the less we use it. Because it has negative connotations.
i think u confused my point, first of all let me say again that if someone is really offended by the R word i dont mind not saying it, but im just confused as to why it is treated so differently from the auti**** word, since both are almost always used in the same context, why is one considered a slur and one is just a word
autism IS a disability. R3tard is a slur used to describe people with all kinds of mental disabilities INCLUDING autism.
different cultures care about different words, I don't really care about it but each his own
I'm sure there are words greek people think are bad but other nations don't care
