I still find it baffling that there's so much outrage over the word 'r-slur' but you can still call anybody:

  • stupid

  • moron

  • idiot

  • YoU CaN RePeAt ThEiR StAtMeNt LiKe ThIs

  • window licker

  • imbecile

  • mentally impaired

  • slow

Which all mean essentially the same thing, and that's seen as fine.

they want to live in a utopia :marseypolpot: where :marseydrama: no one ever insults others but they don't live up to their own values so have to come up with new ways to insult people.

That's how it always is. N-word is :marseydisagree: for :marseyblack:s but creative alternatives like urban youths mean the same thing :marseythumbsup:

There was a big public push by disability advocates and others in the late 00's and early 10's to dissuade people from using the word r-slur and it largely worked, especially when schools implemented zero tolerance policies surrounding the word.

I'm old enough that it was pretty common when I was in middle school (like 2005) and teachers largely didn't care but by the time I got to junior or senior year in high school you would get sent to the office if a teacher or administrator heard you use the word. People my age still use it in private among friends in my experience but zillennials and older zoomers were basically taught that r-slur was equivalent to using the n word. Most of the push to bring the word back are from younger zoomers doing it because it pisses off their teachers.
