I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

    In mainstream culture, I feel like it had its original meaning from like 2014 until maybe 2021. Before that it was a part of black culture since like the 1930s. At least that’s what a cursory googling got me.
