so yeah, somewhere around here
I have never assumed it to be that exclusive
and I've always assumed the bottom ~20% are probably retard-class
it's the bottom X% of people
rather than a number, since IQs are supposed to just be a bell curve
at which point you're not a person
there's the cutoff for retard that's 90, and the cutoff for vegetable which I think is 65-70 or thereabouts
isn't 70IQ a literal vegetable though
or w/e the actual cutoff is for being a clinical retard
versus the broad category of "every person of lower-than-average intelligence"
but I think it at least is attacking a specific group
still not a slur
I find "Autistic" more insulting than retard
retard has general utility as a word, same as stupid, idiodic, insane, etc.
But as an insult, it is no different to calling someone "low-IQ" which make me hard pressed to say its a slur, retard isn't a specific affliction, you don't catch "retard disease" there's no uniform group like there are for genders/races
what is your definition of a slur lol
where words like "Cunt" are hard to divorce from ever not being a slur
I don't think it's even close to slur class
It barely registers as a contentious word, let alone a slur
if you were talking to someone high-functioning, but clearly off
I feel like most of the words I can think of, are more insulting than retard/retarded
Jaz, what word would you use directly with a \___
psycho
so much of our language is derived from adjectives used to describe weirdos
he's just spazzing out
I feel like if you try to make a point not to say retard, you probably also don't say midget, crazy, schitzo, etc.
but I hear "retard" more than throwaway swear words "fuck/shit" in even professional settings
it was definitely off-limits for a few years
it's swung back around
or you're just done
when it leaks like that, you need to drop it next day
that's crazy
wait, they've seriously not released it
Moo deng on right
that hippo got ugly
that is not Korea, I'll agree
Thailand
it's not China or Japan
what the fuck chink land is he in then?
false alarm
