Why suddenly the word "retard" started to be reported

[syjfwbaobfwl]

I think it was a couple of months ago that the word started to get treated as a slur, I have found a lo tof HS reports for people saying it

Before that people considered it as bad as saying "idiot" "moron" "stupid"

Why now people reporting it?

Yeah but I mean unoficially, before that people seemed as saying stupid and now people suddenly see it as bad as the N-word

I googled it and found this. The word is considered offensive because it promotes the stereotype of mentally impaired people being dumb.

It's still a possible reason. Maybe someone relevant made a video about it recently?

Well, I saw many people saying it and no one said anything about it untill a couple of months ago

Eye of the beholder, I suppose. I've come across hundreds, if not thousands of reports with details along the lines of "called me r-slur".

Can you get a strike for saying it?

Generally, no, because it's soft-filtered.

People are using it to promote the idea that dumb people are actually mentally impaired tho

have you considered that sometimes youll just get more or less of something because its never a stable rate
