        Learn the difference between adjective and subject/object. Learn about ‘homonyms’ - just a note for a special person like you “homo” is not a slur. Learn about confirmation bias. The example you have shown right now is superb.

        But you know what? I am giving it to you. You have won the internet today. You are the best of the best. ;)

          None of that is relevant at all; you’re just saying a bunch of patronizing faux rationalist stuff.

              Yes it is. For example if you read the article I’ve linked, you’ll notice it does include the adjective.

              But even if anyone is offended, that doesn’t make them wrong. Being unharmed by slurs implies privilege, not rationality.

          “Homo” and “Retard” are both slurs when used in a derogative way. As an autistic person who also happens to be gay, both words are hurtful when used in the way you use them. Please do better, especially if you’re not part of either minority group. Then it’s just embarassing for you to use words that you really shouldn’t be using.
