      You do not get to decide to override facts. You can’t decide that a slur isn’t a slur any more than you can decide the sky is red.

          You cannot decide that up is down. You cannot decide that black is white. You cannot decide that cats are dogs.

            LMAO I don’t really care what your opinion is here, because you’re wrong and powerless to stop the word “retard” from coming back in style.

            You should really just get used to hearing the word “retard” a lot more often, and people not considering it a slur anymore, Cupcake. It’s happening, whether you like it or not.

            This is just the way society is headed, and society doesn’t care if you’re offended by it. 😉
