dated, now offensive : affected by intellectual disability : INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED
NOTE: The term <r> is increasingly considered offensive. The use of intellectually disabled is now preferred over <r> in medical, educational, and regulatory contexts, as well as in general use.
Further, you use it as an insult specifically in that you suggest someone of a certain political preference is intellectually disabled.
Essentially you are combining someone’s medical situation they did not pick or cause, with someone else’s political interests. That’s fucked up.
IT needs unionizing. Unfortunately it pays too well and is filled with retarded libertarians.
Casual hard R slur in chat
Apparently a snowflake deleted my comment too lol
I’m going to guess it was a libertarian who took exception to my calling them out hahaha
Snowflake? Why are mentally disabled folks ok to make fun of? They didn’t pick it or do it, and it has nothing to do with good or bad politics.
Make fun of things people choose to do. Not shit they were born with.
Definition of removed- a person affected with intellectual disability
I stand by what I said. Sorry I ruffled your jimmies. Not sorry I used the word. You imply my insulting mentally disabled people. I’m not.
You are. It’s a slur. It is not an accepted term in the medical community.
Edit here’s an actual definition from https://www.merriam-webster.com:
