once upon a time “retarded” was the clinical, politically correct way to refer to the mentally disabled.

This is why I don’t care too much. I get it. Times change. I try to remain politically correct, but I can’t bring myself to care too much when someone drops the R word. And with the internet breeding an army of social justice warriors, terms stray into “don’t say” territory so frequently that it can be hard to keep up.

At this point it’s hard not to trigger someone. And I doubt many mentally handicapped people are here seeing this meme. There’s not a lot of conservatives on Lemmy.
