[Serious] Proposing A Rule Change
#17
RE: Proposing A Rule Change
Sadly, I voted no. I do find the word demeaning and offensive and personally don't use it irl, but we have to accept that the term has colloquialized to mean something else now.
10 year olds use it and have never seen a real retarded person. I blame society. But I do use its offshoots on occasion... Trumptards, religitards, etc Dr who's Tardis!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
