Why does everyone suddenly seem to think it’s ok to say the R word again? I feel like I hadn’t heard it in years and suddenly everyone around me is using it, and I see it on Reddit all the time. Am I imagining it? Is anyone seeing this? I don’t even know what to say when it’s suddenly just everyone in a group and everyone acts like it’s normal.

    Ohhhh retard, this whole time I was thinking you were all talking about rape.

    Where I’m from in Australia it’s used a lot, almost no one takes offence to it because it’s accepted in its other meaning of idiot. Those that do get told to grow up, much like people who laugh at the use of the word gay for happy.

      I’m always amused at how different cultures handle language. Can’t imagine these here:

      …but I would love to try them sometime. Would be fun to hand out at pride :)
