      My internet person, I’m pushing 60 and used that word a lot in the past, and even I know it’s considered a slur nowadays. No one made it that way; it just happened, so don’t go around using slurs.

          As someone who has been discriminated against many times in their life while being called that slur, it most definitely is. With a name like FuckFascism, please do better.

          There’s nothing with that word. I’ve retarded the timing on my engine before. An update to a piece of software can be retarded.

          Maybe it’s because I’m in the UK but there are perfectly okay ways to use this word including someone’s opinions which might be backwards, old or retarded.
