      Assuming OOP said ‘retarded’, that doesn’t fit their message well does it?

          There is nothing wrong with the word “retard”, don’t let corporations push their double speak.

            I’ve grappled with “retard” & “bitch” (made a thread about it a couple months ago too, trying to form/reform my opinion).

            Clearly we have to be careful with any messages industry pushes. With that said -

            What do you think about these statements from Special Olympians?

              I appreciate your good faith response. I see and empathize with your perspective. To play devil’s advocate, you can’t control whether a group of people decide, out of the blue, to internalize hurtful language that isn’t aimed at them. The N-word had a very specific target and a very cruel purpose. The word “retard” did not. It basically has the same vernacular trajectory as “moron,” or “idiot.” From medical diagnosis to non-specific pejorative. Why aren’t those synonyms verboten? Because people like to make things about themselves.

      Mainly because you can shove “woke” shit down peoples throats and they won’t care as long as they get to play a manly man or stacked chick and the story and characters are well developed. It’s just when the game is really bad that people care about it and then the studios can blame the poor performance on the alt-right as a cop out for their shitty game. I.e. Star Wars outlaws and Concorde

    I love the fact that the slave owner is not only the one unarmed person you don’t lose honor for killing, but you actually gain honor for killing him.

    The first time I ran into the KKK in the woods, I was really glad I had a stick of dynamite on me.

      It’s funny if you watch them for a minute too, their burning cross catches its surroundings on fire, burning many of them to death.
