[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee [S] 13 points 2 years ago (7 children) Sorry but what is the other R word? (I legit have no idea) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] fishos@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children) They mean "retard". It used to be an acceptable word and now many people consider it a slur. Just wanted to give you a real answer since many people are making jokes or avoiding saying it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Oh Jesus, how about we don't censor Reddit because that itself is retarded? permalink fedilink source parent [–] jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago I was really expecting that to say removed instead of "retard". I find it hard to get behind that censorship even if well intentioned. It's extremely annoying especially when you can't guess what was removed and it renders a sentence incomprehensible. permalink fedilink source parent [–] perishthethought@lemm.ee [S] 2 points 2 years ago Thank you. Til. I'll avoid this situation in the future. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I try (usually unsuccessfully) to explain to people there is a huge difference between saying something is retarded vs calling someone a retard.
