You didn’t seem to take offense to them using “idiot.” Why are you comfortable insulting “idiots”? Do you think that mentally deficient people choose to be mentally deficient? That’s just how they’re born. Why would you endorse insulting someone for something they have no choice about?
Being mentally deficient is a disability. “Idiot” is no better than the other words used here. Just stop being so insulting. Seriously, wow.
Said this elsewhere, but when was the last time you heard “idiot” used as a medical term vs “retarded?” I still hear grandmas use the latter to describe disabled people, so it’s definitely more offensive to use “retarded” as an insult than it is to use “idiot” considering the current meaning of those two words. “Idiot” isn’t still sincerely used to describe a vulnerable population of people, and sometimes “retarded” still is, albeit usually by older folks. That’s the difference.
I think you’re trying to say they’re equivalent, but honestly I’m not sure if I’m understanding the tone of your comment. If you’re sincerely decrying people in here justifying insulting others, in general, I’m with you. They seem to be scrambling hard to justify their own shittyness.
I was referring to the comment higher in the thread, but “stupid” is just as bad, which refers to the “mentally slow.” They didn’t choose to be that way. It’s offensive to refer to other people by that term, because it sounds like you’re using someone’s mental disability, their mental slowness, as an insult to other people.
You’re basically saying “you’re acting like a dumb person,” and being “dumb” is a dis-ability, in the most literal and obvious sense. You can’t choose your intelligence level, that’s just how people are born. It’s incredibly offensive to use one group’s disability as an insult towards someone else.
I’m not personally offended, I’m offended for all the people that might be offended by how offensive you’re being.
And I know you’re trying to be funny, and I don’t appreciate it. You’re basically implying that I’m an idiot or stupid, and that’s incredibly offensive to me for the reasons I’ve already explained.

Where did I call anyone an idiot?

Hey, crazy suggestion: try kindness? Wow.
Lmao Try a little kindness.
K…
You have two accounts, bro? That’s… unnecessary.
The post you’re responding to is parody.
And a week old.
You’re not fooling anyone and you care about people on the internet too much. Hang in there.
I apologize, I didn’t intend you any offence.

Seriously, wow.
Thanks for the laugh, it was needed after some of the comments in this thread.
