faggotsAll of these replies are essentially: "It's a ME problem, but I'll make it YOUR problem too."
People saying that vtubers can't say the word retarded don't watch vtubers.All of these replies are essentially: "It's a ME problem, but I'll make it YOUR problem too."
Same with a lot words like midget, ghetto, gypsy, gay (as an insult), cripple, etc.It is an interesting phenomenon. Decades of nobody taking offense at the word "Retard", then someone starts bitching, and suddenly it because a grave offense and a cause.
The crowd (in Le Bon's sense) dynamics of social media are as hilarious as they are terrifying.
A bit off topic but people who browse twitter probably saw it. There was a jp AI artist that made an AI drawing of Miku being all shiny and stuff. The tweet got more than 100k likes. You had the japanese people liking, posting comments about how its cool and everything. Then you had like 1k+ qrt english, an enormous amount of comments saying that AI artists should be killed, japanese comments from english users bashing him and all that stuff.It's funny how much EN Vtubers hate each other, all it says is western, especially American, culture is just trash lmao.
Okay, I'll call them speds instead like they did, since that's actually funnier than "retard"
Thank god it's a slur, I wouldn't be using it otherwise.Retarded is being treated as such an insanely bad word, to the point of being considered a "slur"?
Funny enough I was talking to a wife of an experience psychologist and made jokes about how annoying they have to be careful with saying the word retarded. Unless they're amongt their own peers in private where they can use the term. Also found out the difference between retards and idiot durring that conversation. A retard has hope to improve where as an idiot theres no hope at least that's how I describe her definition in an immature wayThank god it's a slur, I wouldn't be using it otherwise.
On a more serious note, it's just a classic case of the euphemism treadmill. Any word referring to intellectually disabled people always ends up acquiring negative connotations until it gets replaced by a more politically correct term.
Well duh, meaning of "retarded" is as verbatim as it gets. Both as medical term and as insult.A retard has hope to improve where as an idiot theres no hope at least that's how I describe her definition in an immature way
I tend to avoid the indie sphere as much as possible cuz its so full of retarded drama, but every time I see something from the indiesphere it just makes me think that they have a real "crab mentality" problem. Is that a fair assessment?It's funny how much EN Vtubers hate each other, all it says is western, especially American, culture is just trash lmao. Retarded is being treated as such an insanely bad word, to the point of being considered a "slur"? These 2010 kids and internet generation wouldn't have survived the 90s, but it's also almost always "they/them" people too.
"Why won't anyone ask me out???" says the blue-haired sperg who spends all day online arguing with the wallpaper.Chimo the minor but frequently reoccuring Nijisister, blue haired samurai from the west.
I was looking at the cope from the announcement that Niji would be hiking their prices on their copy and paste merch, when I saw him and decided to look at his more recent tweets.
Same as I'd never call a homosexual a fag but I'll always call a whiny fucking bitch one even though theyre hetero.I'd never call a person with an intellectual disability retarded, but I'll always call someone who acts like they are intellectually disabled even though they aren't retarded.
Same with us lawyers, we still use these terms to describe people's ability to excersise their rights or asume responsibility for their actions.Funny enough I was talking to a wife of an experience psychologist and made jokes about how annoying they have to be careful with saying the word retarded. Unless they're amongt their own peers in private where they can use the term. Also found out the difference between retards and idiot durring that conversation.
