Joe Rogan declared that the re-emergence of the disability slur "retard" is "one of the greatest cultural victories" on his podcast Thursday.

    You’ve used the slur countless times in this thread.

    But no one in this thread has every said every man on the planet is toxic. Where did that strawman come from? Who are you quoting?

        It is a slur. That is a fact, you cannot just say “nuh-uh” to facts.

            You do not get to decide to override facts. You can’t decide that a slur isn’t a slur any more than you can decide the sky is red.

                You cannot decide that up is down. You cannot decide that black is white. You cannot decide that cats are dogs.
