PSA: PLEASE READ

[Rev. Rye]

Myself, I hate when people use words that end with 'tard'.  I learned early how hateful and hurtful the derogatory word 'retard' is and in extension I don't like fucktard or relitard or any of the other variants.  But what I do or don't like isn't how the rules are made here.

I generally take to the opinion that retard is a hateful term toward the mentally disabled but words like fucktard or relitard only generally refer to stupidity not mental illness or disability.After all you can be mentally disabled and highly intelligent.

Depending on whether or not one considers autism a disability, I'm a living example of that. I was diagnosed on the spectrum when I was a young child and when I was six, my IQ was measured at 176 (Weschler, if my parents' memories were any indication). To be fair about the latter, I know that child IQ tests and adult IQ tests are calculated differently, plus that IQ tests are generally kinda nebulous in what they actually measure.
