      How come we’re allowed to say stupid but not retard?

      Aren’t they both insulting people for their lack of intellectual capacity?

        People decided it was a new N-word because it was a medical term a few centuries ago. I don’t understand it either.

          And mentally retarded replaced idiot, moron and imbecile as the medical term when they became insults. It has since been replaced by intellectually disabled for the same reason.

          It’s the euphemism treadmill, it never ends.

            Kids just call each other mentally disabled to insult each other. That’s why it never made sense to censor repurposed terms because they just get replaced with the current thing almost instantly like you said.
