2023 now… doesn’t matter what it used to be.
Yes, so thats 33 years where its NOT BEEN USED TO REFER TO PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTMENTAL DISABILITIES
It absolutely was used to refer to development disabilities in the US during the 80s - as well as anyone acting like they were disabled.
And probably about 23 years where it’s been frowned on to use the word as a pejorative. Don’t use your capital letters with me dipshit.
I can capitalise whatever letters I damn well please, and like I said in another reply, insults by their nature have never been appropriate, and by their very nature are frowned upon.
Yet, you’re cool with doing it… okay.
Yes, yes I am. What a fucking gotcha that was. Oh no, my insult insulted people, whatever should I do
In this instance being a cunt to the idiots was my exact point. I dont care for their stupid ass opinions, and I dont for yours. IRL I make it a point to avoid people as sensitive as you as its more rewarding to spend my time around people who arent as fragile and sensitive
It’s not the word that I give a shit about; I just abhor people that opt to not attempt to use a modicum of respect when talking to other people. That word offends people for very specific reasons, and I (and most other people) phased it out of using it as a pejorative a long time ago.
If you want to act like a fucking child; keep on keeping on. You should block me now.
I mean, you could also block me, that works too. I'm not tired of this yet =D
I’m not the weak of personally sack of shit that used “blocking” as my solution. That was you.
You know, not too long ago the same argument you're making was made for the word cunt with regard to sexism instead of ableism. Just food for thought is all.
It’s generally intended to mean “pull your head out of your ass, what was once acceptable is no longer.”
Glad I was able to spell that out for you.
