You being offended is not my problem or my responsibility to mitigate. Insulting words exist. Deal with it.
I agree with you that censoring the word is irritating and unnecessary.
And retard is an insult, not a medical term. It literally doesn't matter if it even was in the past because it isn't anymore; words evolve and change over time because that's how language works. If retard is a slur, so is idiot, imbecile and moron. None of those four are slurs. We're allowed to call each other stupid.
