  • And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?

    genetics are a constant truth, so the argument should be based from the perspective that genetics mean something, in regards to genocide and eugenics, not that genetics itself is flawed, because genetics didn't create this perception, humans did.

    edit: retards was a typo of regards lmao, what an unfortunate typo.

  • it's the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that's the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don't. Don't think about it too hard, at the end of the day it's just internet karma.

  • we're all a little retarded at the end of the day, if you squint hard enough, it might even be pretty retarded. Because there isn't anything to see, it's a metaphor.

    Anyway, this joke has overstayed it's welcome, i will be on my way now.

  • If the n-word was used to describe people acting stupid would you feel comfortable with that? What if no black people complained about it? Would that make it okay?

    it depends on how far back you go with this one, if you were to remove the racial pretense from it entirely yeah it would probably be fine.

    But if you just sort of retconned it in like 1970 through timetravel or something, i mean it would also be fine because nobody would know what it previously was, but hypothetically that wouldn't be ok, because it's historical roots are the same.

    Its the history and usage of the word that matters. Given enough time, the n word will probably lose it's vile status and become more casual. Like every other word before it.

  • but if that’s too offensive for some folks I guess I can just keep using “fuckmouth”, if that’s easier on the ears.

    fuck mouth might be too insensitive for those of us who have or don't have sex, so basically all of humanity actually.

  • if someone is stupid, and making objectively stupid decisions, it would be fair to call them "developmentally challenged" especially if that person is donald trump, and the stupid decision is tariffs.

    Would it also be fair to call him a retard? Yes.

    should you? Probably not, would it be justified, yes.

    It's only really fucked up if you're using it belittle and demean someone, though there are also situations where this is deserved. Morals and ethics aren't really a solid ground to stand on, more so a floating mass of garbage in the ocean, that just sort of, showed up one day.

  • In other words, the entire reason we say “developmentally disabled” (or whatever the nom du jour is), is because people like you insist on associating developmental disabilities with bad things.

    who is saying that an intellectual disability is a bad thing? You're the one arguing it's a problematic discussion. A lot of people are intellectually challenged, is that also rude? Or is that one fine, is it ok to say uneducated, or is that questioning the socioeconomic status of a person, and therefore, also rude.

    Just because something is defined in a rather terse/blunt way, doesn't necessitate it being a negative thing, that was the problem with "retard" and "retardation" being used, it turned into an insult, and as a result, fell out of favor, because it fucked up the medical definition, which is now "intellectually disabled/disability"

    Sometimes weird deformities happen, sometimes people get physically disabled, or are physically disabled, sometimes people are cognitively, or developmentally disabled, both are fair depending on the context, because neurology is fucking weird. I mean we call certain things "disfigurements" because it's not normal. If they sound bad it's because you've negatively associated these words to concepts that bother you.

  • you can do the exact thing you want to do, without having to police specific word usage, it's misdirected focus, that's the problem.

  • … and if you say we should be kind to these ilk of humanity… I ask you; where does the line for self defense begin? When someone would gladly stab you in the back, it is distinctly not time to extend them the honor of actual humanity.

    i can't think of a single description that would fit these people, other than the definition of retarded. It's literally a perfect fit.

  • yeah, it's a dead beat joke, it's come around to the point now where you can do it ironically and nobody cares. Though i guess you could still just be an asshole at that point lmao.

  • no, i don't think that's a reasonable answer, because you're doing the fascist thing of "these people are wrong they need to change, and if they don't we can justify whatever shitty behavior we want, because we're morally superior"

    It's not dissimilar to a lot of nazi rhetoric.

    I think the problem ultimately stems from a disconnect in social development through out society. Feminism has pushed women forward, successfully in a lot of ways, but it has also pulled men back, in a lot of ways, that's not necessarily bad, but there is now a void there, and there is nothing filling it in, that's why the manosphere got so big so fast. It's literally capitalizing on an empty market.

    If you want to solve the manosphere, the solution is simple, we need to fill in the void, and fix this disconnect that's been happening for probably 75 years now. How we go about that is complicated, and not particularly simple, but i think it's pretty clearly evident that the problem is aimless/directionless guidance for men especially in the last 20 years. Paired with historically contradictory ideas of manhood. Men are supposed to be strong and protect the weak, but it's hard to do that when they don't want it, or need it.

    Once this void is filled in, this shit stops happening, simple as.

  • Its arguably worse that than comment itself. God I wish there was a male loneliness epidemic because these fuckers stopped talking.

    oh no funny man on the internet yaps a lot about things.

    I come here for sociological research more than anything.
