i hear it all the time and i feel like it wasn't said a lot until recently
i think that people started to feel bad for saying that things were gay so they have moved on to the next worst thing
am i crazy? baddood;
people feel bad about throwing around the term gay thanks to lgbtquap militarism so they had to pick up a new buzzword
people have been using retarded in its current form for at least my entire life
around 6 years ago i noticed it almost completely eclipsed gay
gay and retarded
I've been hearing retarded slung around more than gay my entire life. Early in elementary school even.
Don't really get why it's exceptionally bad though. Is mentally, challenged better? Because that's used as an insult too. When it comes to deficiency in brain function, whatever you call it will always be used as an insult. Even 'special"
it might be a regional thing, but i heard retarded a lot from elementary school-middle school and then i think people realized that it was insensitive and stopped using it
the politically correct thing to say is "a person with a disability." if you say "disabled person" then you are defining them by their disability
it honestly doesnt bother me that much but i was just wondering if anybody else had noticed a resurgence or if i am just werid

I think that's weird. If I was in a wheelchair I'd worry people would think I'm brain damaged since disability is all lumped into one category.
i agree
but with that logic you also don't want to jump people with different mental disabilities together
somebody who is only mildly impaired will get lumped together with people who have massive deficits in functioning
okay going serious
yes i have noticed that too. i think gays are just gradually being widely accepted around.
i like using "lame" if it fits
or ill just call out why their shit doesn't make sense if it's "literally dumb"
but i also love saying gay
i notice more ppl saying autistic/sperger/autism recently than retarded and gay.
[autistic voice] agreed
lol
I use lame and dumb a lot too
They are really the only alternatives that donut suck
lame and dumb is about as bad as retarded and gay
lame and dumb are insensitive to cripples and niggers respectively
this is the worst thread on boyah

i hear it as much as ever, I used to say it a lot and the rest of my family still does (even my grandma)
i never used gay in that way though
But didn't you work with special kids or something not long ago? you're probably just noticing it more.

how the hell is that any different, the alternative that wouldn't define them in that way would just be to call them a "person" or by their name or something

i think that the distinction is also silly. most pc terms are imo
