yeah but i’m not calling retarded people retarded. I’m calling people who deserve to be the intellectual equivalent of a retard (in whatever sense you wish to define it, doesn’t make a difference to me), retarded. You could argue i’m bringing it down to their level, but i would argue it’s the person acting the way that they are who’s bringing it down to that level, i’m just calling them out on it, because i don’t believe anybody deserves to be sidelined when doing something that stupid.
I mean most of the time i call inanimate objects that don’t move retarded, most of them my own doing. The other half the time it’s me, and the rest is me fucking around with my friends.
And i mean, you can make that argument if you want, but then like, where do we stop? Is telling people to kill themselves morally unacceptable because people cant control how and when they die? Like, if i tell my friend to go kill themselves, am i suddenly disrespecting every murder victim who has ever existed in the world, by relating them to this specific situation? Obviously i go tell someone whose actively suicidal to kill themselves, i’m a shitty person and morally in the wrong on that one, but i feel like this doesn’t need explanation.

Yes. 🤦 Jfc, “asking me not to use a slur against disabled people is a slippery slope to asking me not to tell people to kill themselves.” Fucking, good!
Btw, you can make your argument if you want, but then like, where do we stop? If I call a straight person the f-slur, is that acceptable? I’m not actually saying it at a gay person, I’m just insulting someone by suggesting that they’re gay. Is it ok for a white person to tell another white person they’re acting like an n-word? Exactly how far are you willing to take this bullshit?
Yes. 🤦 Jfc, “asking me not to use a slur against disabled people is a slippery slope to asking me not to tell people to kill themselves.” Fucking, good!
how many times do i have to explain that im not using it against disabled people.
it wasn’t good, you just threw some shit in a bowl and went “ooh argument”
Is it acceptable for a white person to tell another white person they’re “acting like an [n-word]?” Yes or no.
again, i’m not saying that people are acting like retards, i’m calling them one. There’s a contextual difference that you don’t seem to understand.
Now if we’re going to fix that argument for you, free of charge you would say something like “is it ok for a white person to call another white person the N word?” could go either way depending on the context. Heavily context dependent usage.
Comparing someone to a category as an insult is also insulting the people in that category regardless of whether the person it’s directed at is part of the category or not. Calling a white person the n-word is offensive to black people, calling a straight person the f-slur is offensive to gay people, and calling neurotypical people the r-slur is offensive to the mentally disabled.
If I call you a “pasta eater” it would only work as an insult if there’s an unstated assumption that eating pasta is bad. If I call you “gay” it only works an insult with the unstated assumption that being gay is bad. This isn’t rocket science.

I like how you completely ignored my arguments.

I’ve got no stick in this fight but just wanted to chime in and say you’re losing this argument buddy
God, what a shit perspective.
