I think that using "retard" in the colloquial sense is absolutely dead wrong - but I still remember with fascination a Canadian girl I was speaking with; I used the word "retard" in the context "retards economic growth", and she flatly refused to continue the conversation. Pretty fascinating.

My mother tells me of a story when she was a child, where she was hanging out with one of her friends, and my mother said that something was "retarded", and her friend replied: "Oh, I know what you mean, my brother is retarded". Her friend had a mentally disabled brother, and it made my mother feel terrible. She never used "retarded" in that way again. I try to keep this in mind.

The word was popularized by people who felt like they were doing the right thing, too. Good old euphemism treadmill.

It gets me thinking: Nowadays, I see people using the word "autistic" pejoratively. Will it get to the point that we need a new word for autism just because some assholes use "autist" to refer to anyone who doesn't fit their idea of normal?

[–]MOMMY_FUCKED_GANDHI 34ポイント35ポイント  (2子コメント)

[–]yetiman223 25ポイント26ポイント  (12子コメント)

You're not supposed to say "Morty is autistic" you're supposed to say "Morty has autism".

Autism is a condition of a person, not the definition of the person.

Example: if someone has cancer you don't say "Rick is cancerous" you say "Rick has cancer".

Its a way of maintaining the humanity first outlook people have on social, behavioral, and learning disabilities. The hope is to turn the attention to preventing and treating the affliction instead of preventing and treating the person.

This is the cultural change in a nutshell. They're not albinos; they're people with albinism. They're not little people or dwarfs; they are people with dwarfism. They're not autistics; they're people with autism. They're not retards; they're people with developmental or intellectual disabilities.

[–]sillybear25 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

That's a good point, but it's not the entire issue. If you go back to the original R&M scene, Morty probably would have reacted the same way if Rick said the microscope would have "caused mental retardation". I agree that the phrasing is pretty important, but some words still end up being considered unacceptable.

[–]yetiman223 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yeah, the "retardation" thing comes from the fact that it was co-opted as a way to insult people rather than to describe a condition. I think people are pushing for "differently abled", last I heard.

People like to blame the whole "treadmill of terms" shit on the "politically correct" when really we should be more upset at the inverse. If people stopped being such assholes we wouldn't have to make up new words for the mentally or physically disabled people.

Also language evolves to get more specific. "retard" clearly wasn't specific enough because a bunch of people started using it as an insult and it lost its clinical meaning.

So we create a new term "Differently abled". It is very specific to the situation and won't hurt anyone's feelings because it isn't directly saying that someone is inferior, just different. Its great for the community of people with "disabilities" because respect is built into the phrase.

Well thats just no fun right guys? How am I supposed to insult someone with that?

thats the fuckin point

I'm just going to let you think that's what I mean because that's funny.

[–]TheGhostofWoodyAllen 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, that's actually the exact issue - that words' meanings change over time. "Mentally retarded" was introduced to replace terms like "idiot," "moron," "simpleton," and the like, but since it became a pejorative over time, they have since had to look for a new way to describe the condition. The new alternatives, like developmental disability, intellectual disability, and general learning disability, describe the same situation without providing the same kind of fodder for cultural co-opting that occurred with "mentally retarded." It's easy to go from "mentally retarded" to the "retard" pejorative, but it's harder to do that with with "developmental disability." Sure, you can still negatively refer to someone as such, but it's less likely to be used since it's a mouthful that can't be condensed to a nice rude nugget like "retarded."

[–]Syicko 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think what /u/rrawk meant was that "differently abled" is still used as an insult because everyone knows the meaning behind it. If anything it is worse because it is new. Rewrapping the meaning(the turd) in a new word(pretty bow) really hasn't done anything other than give people more ammo.

Yep. It was seen as the politically correct term for "morons" for a while, and it's now come full circle and is seen as the pejorative term.

    Crazy, looney, and a ton of other words for people with mental illness used to be technical terms. They have to change them every so often because people use mental illness terms as pejoratives and the words themselves eventually become more insult than description.

    Personally, I grew up with the word "retarded" as not only the correct word for people with mental issues, but also, later, where young people used it to describe something that was bad in some way.

    I still use it, somewhat regularly, in those same ways, and when people get offended (and they do), I just don't give a fuck. The word to describe the affectation of the mind for these people has changed a half dozen times in my lifetime, and at this point, I just, seriously, stopped caring to change along with the PC movement. The PC movement can suck my retarded dick.

    Also, here's George Carlin bringing up very similar language issues:

    It's not the PC people who are making the medical community change. It's the people who water down the meaning of the word by throwing it around all the time who do that. For the most part, the "PC" crowd wants to stop its use as a general insult, not as a medical term.

    I literally just got banned from /r/me_irl 3 days ago because I linked to a subreddit I made called /r/retarddogs.

    The messages between the mod and I were.....well it was like speaking to a child. She/he didn't want me to use the "r-slur" so she/he banned me. I asked the mod what rule I broke. He/she said I was making fun of people.

    I explained I didn't mean to and the subreddit is not made in a cruel way, but a joking way (check it out if you don't believe me). I then told the mod that you shouldn't just ban people for having a different opinion from you and while I don't think the word is offensive in the context I used it in, i wouldn't say the word retard or anything else mean like that on her/his sub again and asked if I could be unbanned.

    He/She wouldn't because she didn't think I learned my lesson about the word retard. The mod then posted some Ellen DeGeneres (and friends) video on why I'm a bad person for saying the word retard.

    I literally responded with a video clip of this exact same scene from Rick and Morty and went about my way.
