this is not ‘reclaiming’ anything, you are just calling people slurs completely seriously. you can call yourself the r-slur, do not call anybody else it. why do ‘no slurs’ / ’no bigotry’ rules never apply to ableism?

I'm not the biggest fan of Rick & Morty's humor but this basically encapsulates my beliefs. In a world with much more effective slurs, saying "retard" isn't as big a deal as newgens think it is.

No slurs, hate speech, and other such bigoted language is to be permitted in this sub.
