Where I’m from people use it frequently, but never about disabled people. They just mean stupid. In that capacity I agree, it’s literally the same on every level as idiot, moron, imbecile, feeble-minded, dumb, etc.

If someone uses the word to refer to a mentally handicapped or disabled person, we’re gonna fight. If you call attacking Iran retarded, I agree wholeheartedly.

This. The UN isn’t for “doing things”. Its sole purpose is to provide an established avenue for diplomacy. It is a monumental achievement in human history and is critically important especially in tense times like this, for no other reason than enabling interstate dialogue. It isn’t meant to be on anyone’s side as an organization, it’s meant to bring everyone to the table to encourage diplomacy to prevent war.

If the good person deep inside you never comes out, what does it matter?

Sorry but the ampersand is really bothering me

That would suggest I don’t spend much time online, the opposite of the insult I used.

That second paragraph makes you sound like a terminally online douche

Misanthropy is for losers

But then how are you supposed to know when to laugh?!?! ^/s

But they’re ugly because of specific choices they made to wear what ends up looking like a fascist clown costume. They chose this look. They’re not being made fun of for things outside their control.

The vitriol and anger that led to those aesthetic choices also led to unhappy marriages. That’s the joke as I saw it.

So is a woman insulting a man by saying he’s ugly also sexist? I’m struggling to see how it’s misogyny, honestly. Like I’m not trying to fight or anything, I just don’t get how insulting physical appearance can be misogynistic when men can be ugly too. It doesn’t seem to be attacking them because they’re women, but because their appearance seems to reflect their souls. Ugly. What am I missing?
