And, like others my age who grew out of such harmful language not long after graduating from middle school, I have been dismayed to see it flood into mainstream adult discourse over the past few years, abetted by social media and its laziest, most callous shitposters.

I don’t know man - as a teenager throwing around casual insults like gay and retard to your buddies is one thing. As an adult especially if you have or know a family that has a special needs kid it hits a little different. Kinda trashy.

So sick of these overly dramatic clickbait headlines. Ukraine's demograhic future is grim. The national debt is grim. This is a mildly interesting nothingburger

Are you able to say someone is fat if you have a friend with a fat kid?

gay and retard coming back in to the mainstream is awesome

Intellectually delayed person who wrote this doesn't understand that we'll just use the next terminology that comes available. Will never end.

The only reason people use it is because others wanted to forbid them from doing so.

“Like a retard on a drum set” is still one of the best sayings ever.

Meh, it’s not some grand indictment of our political paradigm specifically. Culturally, adults now view it as acceptable to talk, dress, and generally act like children. This is simply another example of that.

Cry more, retard

It goes well beyond Peter Pan syndrome, the infantilization of "adults" is going to lead to some bad times.

Gays are the biggest user of the term 'fig'.
