“retarded” is a medical term for intellectual disabilities. That’s why it’s not allowed, “stupid” would have been fine. I’ve asked the main mod to explicitly mention it in the rules to avoid confusion in the future.
Where’s the section that my comment breaks? Is there a reason why you’re not just linking directly instead of being so vague…?
My comment was also removed for the wrong reasons, they just needed a reason because of the “trigger” word, and yet another one of my comments that state the exact same thing is still up, so whys one okay and not the other…? Sounds more like someone took personal offense to a word used in actually semantically correct way, since they think the word isn’t okay in every single case.
Which isn’t the case with the word in this case. The word retard isn’t some catch all word like the N word is, and people that think that are in the wrong. You seem to be trying to say they are comparable here, that’s fucking wild dude.
dont worry i understand what youre trying to say its like how black people can use the n word so if were being logically consistent you should be able to use the r word these people just dont get it
Oh to be a young man, arguing on the internet about being literal in everything you come across, fighting against any and all rules because you’ve never had to really overcome any real obstacle set before you, an entire society based around your wants and needs. Constantly acting embarrassingly, while people around you cover their faces, roll their eyes, and sigh as you, very correctly, lecture them on the literal meaning of words while you find someone less socially able than you to punch down at. To feel that smug superiority in pointing out that your awful, awful actions towards your fellow community members is, in fact, legal, and that you’re allowed to do it, and to say anything against you is unfair. Throwing strawman arguments and delectably smarmy ‘nuh uh’s’ at your peers, the true 17-20 something experience.
They aren’t defending the suggestion. They are taking issue with you using a medical condition to insult someone’s intelligence.
Ableism isn’t OK.
How is it ableist to call a mentally challenged solution retarded…?
I never insulted anyone’s intelligence.
It’s retarded to stare at the sun during an eclipse, stating that isn’t ableist. That’s all I did.

Do you know what ableism vs an insult vs a slur is…?
Because some are allowed and some aren’t here. I didn’t use ableism, and the other stuff has no rules here.
So if I’m being accused and having my stuff moderated incorrectly, that’s a problem.
I’m willing to bet that’s the worst thing that will happen to you this year, and you’ll still whine about it.
If you’re an expert on these things, then your litany of abuses must have been made knowingly:

Instead of lecturing others, I suggest educating yourself, before you catch a ban.
There are in fact rules about them.
You say from an alt account with almost exclusively controversial stuff… okay….
Where? Ableism isn’t even on there either, so mods already overstepped.
The community’s rules are not all of Lemmy’s rules.

If you’re looking for a Nazi bar, I suggest you look elsewhere.

• Anything else that is clearly bad
It’s right there, the bottom line of the top list.
I’m pretty sure the 196 mods would consider ableism and ableist slurs to be “clearly bad.”
