I don’t get it
They made a post about not using ‘retard’ as an insult. It got caught up in a lot of discussion about whether lack of mental capacity itself is legitimate to use as an insult against people who are not mentally disabled (ie ‘moron’, ‘idiot’, etc).
Ooooh I thought the ratio in question was upvote to downvote lol. The part about mods went over my head.
Downvotes are disabled here actually, so that’s why it says 0 downvotes
Umm actually you should say “downvotes are differently abled”
I’m so sorry

I saw that thread, there were some extremely weird and gross responses, one person wrote like 6 paragraphs on how they couldn’t stop using it, with one of the reasons being they “liked the mouth feel”??? It’s baffling the lengths people will go to to justify saying a slur.
right! i felt like i got yeeted to a different dimension with how aggressive it all got
so now we know lemmy.com is an okay place unless you are:
- mentally disabled or
- a woman
in which case people will defend their rights to participate in harrasing you you with vigor! very cool
