What's your thoughts on "retard"?
| Are you retarded?
| I do think it's pretty obnoxious
| I just find it way too edgy, it doesn't have to be used.
| I don't really care. An insult by any other name would be as meaningless unless you're the target of it.
| It's obnoxious, especially when it's thrown about to derail a genuine discussion like what >>631525 did.
| I dislike it but not much more than I just dislike insults in general most of the time
| That's retarded
| the only usage i've been able to handle it be used is for okbuddy
| I enjoy pissing off genuine idiots by calling them what they are.

Be careful. That's gonna backfire on you since you're obviously not the most intelligent individual yourself.
| I know back in the day ppl use to say you're retarded or you're gay to mean that's stupid so I'm sure it'll go out of fashion to the point no one uses it anymore. Hopefully without much fighting lolol
| I like retard more than idiot or dumb. It just feel so much better stretching/emphasizing the "re" on retard, compared to the "i" or "o" in idiot.
Also, it is so much better as an adjective. "It's retarded" feels better to say than "It's Idiotic"
| I have a fire retardant blanket. Does that count?
| that and the n word are my favorite words. perfect for making someone feel small
| it's ok OP. someone called you retarded but you don't need to make a whole thread trying to convince yourself that it doesn't hurt.
| OP is retarded cock-loving faggot :^)

I have actually never been called retarded, I'm not social enough for that. I do get pretty annoyed when I hear social people just throwing it around finding it hilarious though.
| It's a good word that describes 98% of people I know. Now calling people it is offensive and cringy alright.
| ITT: Whiny fags bawling about how someone called them a retard
| It's an insult. It's meant to offend, either directly or directly.
It's also one of the most common insults, don't think it'll go away any time.
Insults aren't meant to be truthful or accurate, do you think everyone who is called a bitch or a bastard is what they're called?
Doss it annoy you because it seems to act as if mentally ill people are lesser?
| Insults are just buzz words, words that you can add your negative feelings to. The words could mean literally nothing, or make no sense.
| Anyways, insults are retarded. Have good day.
| >>632330
Insults that aren't clever are just meaningless words thrown around because you're too dumb to say anything that can actually insult you. If someone were to genuinely call me retarded as an insult I'd just feel bad for them.
| >>632360
Insults don't need to be clever, they just need to hurt. I don't think anyone cares one way or another how much thought someone put into insulting them.
| >>632378
I don't know, why don't you ask OP and like half this thread? If hearing the word bothers you, its done its job. It doesn't matter if its "overused bullshit."
| >>632397
If retard didn't affect you, you would have never made this thread in the first place. Trying to argue why it doesn't affect you, instead of ignoring it or forgetting about it, is mental damage control.
| >>632411
Wot? Did you read? It's not a word that hurts me, like what an insulat should. I'm just annoyed that people find a word so devoid of humour funny.
| >>632425
I went back and reread your OP post- I think I see where I misunderstood your point, my bad.

| The word "retard" is kind of annoying in my opinion. I'm not easily offended and I like dark humour, but I hate when people use "retard" very incorrectly and find it hilarious. Like, the way most people use it is "retard(ed) = dumb", which is incorrect, and it just annoys me. I also find it annoying when people use the word correctly and think it's funny. It's just so devoid of humour, over used and most of the time incorrectly used. I don't like it. Idk. What do you g/u/rls think?
