Hey did you notice the "autism" in my name? Maybe I have more perspective to speak on what words are and aren't slurs against my group than you do fuckass.
Language evolves. "Mental removedation" is not longer recognized as as medical term, its use in modern times is generally regarded as a slur by the disability community and is treated as such in pretty much all communities that actively try to include neurodiverse people are oppose ableism.
So to answer the question of "ince wshen". The answer is "for at least a couple decades now". I was actually hit by my friend with a severely disabled brother for using it back in like 2006.
I am active in the disability rights movement and pretty much all of us that are agree the word is a slur and there is no excuse to be using it. Its not a "word for mental capacity" anymore and hasn't been in a long time. Plus, insinuating that mental disability is a BAD thing is ableist on its face.
Jesus fuck, people need to grow a spine. There are much more pressing matters to cry about. Half the fucking planet is on fire but no, let's cry about a word.
I grew up on the obese side, was made fun of for it my entire childhood. Do I get offended when I am called fat? No I laugh it off, because it's true. At some point it's better to not be offended all day
We can can care about more than one thing at a time lol. Do you also think black people should just "get over" the n word because global warming exists? Or gay people with the f slur? Do you think that women should stop complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace because global warming exists? Those are often "just words" after all. I care deeply about global warming and want to do things about it, probably more than you do, but that doesn't mean I have to be ok with words meant to insult and attack me and people like me.
Idk if this rhetoric will work with you because you probably do think those things, at least about the slurs.
You're arguing with a militant apathy enthusiast that wants to say edgy South Park tier shit and get no pushback from it, because they're allowed to be offended at others getting offended and that's the only offense allowed according to "nothing offends me" types.
Stop being a crybully because your edgy slurs aren't welcome here.
At some point it's better to not be offended all day
Except you are right in that post because you're not getting praised for your stale edgy slurs. Do you have any fucking self awareness at all, you brained crybully?
It's pretty clear the user autism dragon has a spine, that's why they're telling you to back off instead of accepting you using a term they find hurtful
They have the same basic endgoal. Also stop using the r word.

Just stop being a weird hostile fuck when someone takes away your comfort slur
multiple things can matter at once
Caring a whole lot about not caring and making sure no one cares too much is the definition of maturity for "nothing offends me"
types.
