truly sorry for the kid. his parents are literally too retarded to have kids.
and yes, it's a slur against retarded people... like her.
please don’t use that word. it’s a vulgar word. as someone who hs been called that all their life, I take offence.
was it directed at you?
who cares who it was directed at. it’s still a shitty word to use
intent matters.
I was very explicit on who the word was meant for, and it wasn't you (unless you identify with the shitty parents).
if you were offended or hurt by it, you need to reevaluate your perspective in the world and realize that the world doesn't (and won't) change for you because of your emotional trauma. deal with it, that's life. Talk with your therapist, your minister, whoever you need to.
I'm not going to change the way I say things when my intent was to slander the parents, and only the parents.
Your intent was shitty and only shitty people use that word in any context.
that just means you're not imaginative enough.
broaden your horizons, go touch grass and read a physical book.
Don't fucking tell me to touch grass when you're the one using the r-word.
clearly you need therapy if you're getting so upset over a word from an online stranger that wasn't even talking to you, referring to you, or thinking of you, when they said it.
reevaluate your life and what's important. I am not important, nor is what I said, enough for you to become so emotional.
seek help.
