Isn't it more inclusive to call everyone retards, as opposed to just calling retards retards?

retard means slow
you gonna ban slow? you know whatever we call those people it will become pejorative because the offensive part of the word is the concept itself.

Whatever word replaces retard will itself become offensive because it's not the word that's the issue, it's what it represents that causes upset.

I fucking love retards. For me, "retard" is a term of endearment. Some of the funniest things that I have ever witnessed have been due to the retarded. When I was in high school, there was a group of retarded kids who had their own class and activities. One of them liked to sit against the wall in the hallway with his back to it and he would cross his arms around his knees rocking back and forth with his eyes rolles back in his head. My friend called him "demons want me". That kid smeared his shit all over the men's bathroom one day and it was a big deal. Also, there's a YouTube channel featuring a couple of Chinese retards called "Get Down With Sean and Marley" where the editors seem to be playing a sick yet very funny joke utilizing said retards. In one episode of the show, Sean and Marley go to a Buddhist temple and struggle to understand basically anything. Retards are the salt of the Earth. Life wouldn't be as good without them.

Back in the old days of the internet 4chon.org (not 4chan.org, not 4chon.net. 4chon.org) was co-hosted with a website that collected humorous anecdotes from professional tard-wranglers, it was one of the funniest website on the planet, never got all that famous for whatever reason (probably because it was hosted by a bunch of furry pedo faggots and nobody in the right mind would want to admit to having looked at anything near 4chon.org). I forget the name of the site, but you might be able to find it from archive.org. I used to have a big collection of screencaps from it, but I'm bad at backups

same thing happened to negro, colored, african american, POC & black. they finally gave up and decided to stick with black because even though it has taken on a pejorative meaning like all the other euphemisms for the n word, its the easiest one of the lot to spell.
personally I think spearchucker should be their favorite, javelin is an honored olympic sport, but negroes probably don't like it since none of them can get with 5m of the white man's best efforts.

''Retard'' is a factual statement in the sense that some people are less developed than other people and lack the self-awareness that their logic, reasoning and knowledge is inferior. We are not equal and your woke political attempt to enforce the appearance of equality through control of language and thought will lead to an Orwellian world.

Went on a date with an elementary school teacher who got angry because I used the word retard.
>We don't use that kind of word!
Dumb thing was that the context had nothing to do with people. My comment was something along the lines of "that would retard growth if they didn't extend [something or the other]". It had been hammered into her head so hard that retard was a no-no word that it offended her regardless of the context. Needless to say, I didn't bother asking that retard out again.

Retard already was a euphemism since it implied that the "mentally retarded" were merely delayed in development whereas the older terms "idiocy" and "imbecility" made it clear early on that the developmental delay was most likely permanent.
Now, we have the term "intellectual disability" but this doesn't seem to encompass the range of issues that the mentally retarded actually have. Technically then, any kid or teenager can be considered intellectually disabled in reference to adults since they perform poorly on measures of intellectual functioning. 11- or 12-year-old kids, for example, score around 50 on an IQ test if measures for adults are used, yet the mentally retarded function considerably below the level of a 12-year-old kid, often on the level of 4 or 5-year-old when it comes to self-care and self-sustainment.
It's kind of similar with autism where it's clear that once you surpass a certain threshold, shortly after crossing the territory into moderate autism, socio-communicative issues and repetitive behavior turn into circumstantial phenotypes that are indicative of a much more pervasive underlying issue. And psychologicla formulation has gotten nowhere close to uncovering what the actual issue is in these people.

I've met these kind of people too and I don't know how anyone can tolerate a person who forces everyone around them to walk on eggshells by getting upset over their choice of words. Imagine how many years their parents, siblings, family members, teachers and classmates have let them get away with such behavior and have made them feel empowered instead of giving them a good beating.

Its worth knowing that the origin of the word "retard" comes from the formerly common psychiatric clinical phrase "retarded psychological development" which has subsequently been changed to "arrested psychological development" since "retard" became politically incorrect.
So all those people who are physically adults, but still engage in children's pastimes, such as playing video games, watching cartoons or who are still in school like a child despite being an adult chronologically are retards according to to the conventional psychiatric definition.
