True, liberal media has a bias problem. They are so proud of being neutral, showing both sides, facts and alternative facts. This might sound like a good idea until you realize the implication that there are only two sides of the story. While facts are objective, there is an infinite amount of alternative facts you can come up with. It’s much easier to spread bullshit than to debunk it, still both get the same coverage. That’s why I like alternative media so much, so facts, still more perspectives.

The moon is the center, obviously

Truth is somewhere in between

Or are they?

Before everything was political

we’re looking at a word that means the exact same thing as a number of other words nobody cares to censor.

So why not use them instead? Why insist on this one word when there are enough to choose from?

And is this really the case? I’m not a native speaker but I consume a lot of English media, including old books, and never have I encountered it as anything other than a derogatory term to mentally disabled people. And let me remind you that you made this convention about censorship, I didn’t. I just wrote a short comment, ready to move on, you bombarded me with paragraphs of comments. I’m just feeding the troll at this point and maybe I shouldn’t.

So you are much more part of the mechanism that divides people which is a poor argument in my opinion anyway. It’s often used to silence people who fight for marginalized groups and “divide the working class”. I’m not saying that you used it that way, but neither am I part of a witch hunt for suggesting not to use that word.

And what is all the talk about “monied campaigns”? Who has the monetary interest to cancel this word? I really don’t get this point.

i’ve been censored as ableist for saying idiot, moron and stupid

Not by me. Words change meaning (both connotation and denotation) over time and right now, the R word in relation to humans is considered a no no. This might change, the word might change its connotation again or might disappear completely and another word takes its place, who knows. This isn’t about what words could mean or used to mean or mean in very different contexts but what they mean here and now.

But maybe the problem about the meme is that it makes fun of “very not intelligent” people, as you put it. Maybe it’s not cool to portray them in such a way, with such a face. As you said, things come across differently within different people groups and there are many people on the internet so maybe be a little more cautious there.

This is so stupid, why wouldn’t you post that meme?

Maybe don’t use the R word?

And always remember: DON’T PANIC!!

Maybe eat beans instead like boomers used to when they were young
