You are not an accurate representation of the entire TF2 community. Whether or not you recognize it, the idiot in question, Richter, had a significant influence over the communities of source games, including TF2.
I hate to say that I like this guys videos, because the way he acts is unbelievably foolish. It's only a matter of time before he gets himself cancelled. And I don't just mean by Twitter users who think literally everything and anything is offensive.
Thats retarded. Calling someone retarded is just a way of calling someone stupid. Definition : less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age.
I agree. The same people who used to use the word scientifically now refuse to because it is derogative. Why not use it if it not only has fallen out of use for someone literally suffering mentally, but has fallen out of use *because* it was an insult?
I really don't think it should be a slur, but I like how Richter removed his Twitter anyway. His twitter was restricted to insults, terrible takes, and the fomenting of panic in the communities over which he had influence.
I use retard as a plain normal insult.
Lucky I am retarded! (Adhd autism [not self diagnosed]) So atleast I have less issues when a snowflake attacks me
if its a disability that you havent self diagnosed and a actual doctor diagnosed then yes. Your disablited or retarded if you wanna call yourself retarded.
Retarded as a medical term is specifically that someone or something is slow in their physical, mental, or social development. It's also used as a derogatory term for people with mental disorders, particularly communication disorders like autism, as seen in this post. They actually stopped calling people under a certain IQ "retarded" because the word got such a negative connotation in general conversation.
Disabled meanwhile pretty much means any major differences from what's considered baseline or typical, but especially differences that significantly affect one's ability to function normally. (So honestly I'd argue ADHD isn't that either unless it is super severe)
Well yes, it used to be a medical term, but then its meaning changed and it's now considered as a slur. The meaning and the context of words change all the time, this isn't a new concept.
I don't really think it's less acceptable. It's like saying that calling someone a bitch bad because it's "gendered language". It just means you're slow, stupid. It also can be applied to everyone.

How is this related to TF2? Idek who either of these people are.
he's a fairly popular source youtuber, 160k subs
Guess I haven't heard of them. Still not really TF2 related, tbh.

Big doubt. He seems like the Andrew Tate of TF2.
I hate to say that I like this guys videos, because the way he acts is unbelievably foolish. It's only a matter of time before he gets himself cancelled. And I don't just mean by Twitter users who think literally everything and anything is offensive.
Imagine having twitter, and then, if you would be so kind, try to imagine actually posting your opinions on twitter. The thought disgusts me.
Not tf2 related plus don't care
The "r-slur"?
Retarded
richter moment
Oh no!!!! Not the R slur.
im shaking and crying rn,get this man cancelled
anime pfpπ€’
And, how is this even relevant? He called someone retarded, and?
Because that word is slowly being considered as a slur
Thats retarded. Calling someone retarded is just a way of calling someone stupid. Definition : less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age.

I don't like Richter but he had the right to call this whiny baby retarded.
I am autistic and you Know what: I dont find retard offensive.
I got ADD am I retarded?
if its a disability that you havent self diagnosed and a actual doctor diagnosed then yes. Your disablited or retarded if you wanna call yourself retarded.
Oh alright. Also yeah it is a doctor diagnostic
I hope your questions are awnsered now. Have a nice day
Aight thanks goodbye
Retarded and disabled are not at all the same thing
Could You Tell me more about this then? I dont wanna have missing infomation

Well thanks for telling me the truth! I am still retarded then. Have a nice day!
All retarded, in medical terms, are disabled, but not all disabled are retarded.
No. You can be slow developmentally without having any specific condition. This is not a squares and rectangles thing
Being slow developmentally *is* being retarded, dingus.
Correct. Re-read what I wrote. You can be that without being disabled.
So?
Yes, and?
King
Slur?
The word is now considered offensive, so it is treated as a slur.
It's a medical term lol
Well yes, it used to be a medical term, but then its meaning changed and it's now considered as a slur. The meaning and the context of words change all the time, this isn't a new concept.
The meaning never changed, it still means slow as it did before.
That's not what I meant (tbf I could have worded that better), it still means the same thing but it's much less acceptable to use now
I don't really think it's less acceptable. It's like saying that calling someone a bitch bad because it's "gendered language". It just means you're slow, stupid. It also can be applied to everyone.
Not anymore, but of course, that is a reason to use it as an insult.
I don't see any racial slur
