Who are you to say they're fine or not?
It's clearly controversial, and the commenter very well knew it would be before they commented, and after they got the replies they did.
It takes less time than it took for them to reply justifying their choice. As I said, be better.
- pb7 4y agoWho are you to say to be better? Policing people's language doesn't make you better, it just makes you feel better. Entirely performative just like woke people using "Latinx" when 90% of Hispanic people preferring they didn't[0]. [0] https://archive.ph/UONL2 https://archive.ph/UONL2
- jesuscript 4y agoI’m officially an adult, not a young adult, definitely not a kid. I’d be a little careful around kids with that word, and certainly parents with children that may be dealing with it. Kids struggling with a shortcoming and having other kids attack it can be hard. I like to think we’re not kids here, and some level of off color talk can be somewhat interpreted as humor at best, sardonic, sarcastic, dark humor, and at worst, appropriately inappropriate - as in, we aren’t kids, and I hope you got me. So for example, let’s not worry that I used the word, because those who are truly retarded are actually retarded enough to not be offended. Imagine if you took what I just literally. Or did I say it to make a point? What is adult levity, I guess, is my question? What is non pc, non safe for work (within reason) conversation, among adults? Is it a constant “watch what you just said, but I won’t even consider the context of it”.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoAdults also know what tact is and what is considered socially appropriate and not. You don't have to be a kid to not be needlessly insulting to a wide swath of people just to show it to a company who isn't going to read or care about what you said.
