This existed way before the internet, it’s a retarded way to vandalize, since the chance is they’ll get a blowout on the highway putting innocent people’s lives at risk.
But sure, if you want to claim you came up with this absolutely moronic and retarded idea that’s been around for decades, go right ahead.
If you suggest something that puts others innocent peoples lives in danger just to be petty, yeah you’re fucking retarded, there SHOULDN’T be an argument there.
But sure let’s defend people making this suggestion lmfao. This place is wild.
“retarded” is a medical term for intellectual disabilities. That’s why it’s not allowed, “stupid” would have been fine. I’ve asked the main mod to explicitly mention it in the rules to avoid confusion in the future.
I never used it in that way, so my comments were still removed for false reasons.
Retard also has more than one definition, it’s not a catch all term. So comments shouldn’t be removed for just having the word.
You know this, I still have two comments that use the term in a no direct insulting way.
It’s also an incredibly silly situation to allow directly insulting users with like “stupid” anyways, but you do, this will be a cesspool like other places in no time. And as the other user unhelpfully pointed out, that would put you in violation of lemmy.worlds rules itself…. So which is it? Your rules, or theirs? Or is this like most other communities and the rules are made up every report?
Regardless of whether or not you personally think it’s an acceptable term to use, best to drop it from your lexicon if you intend to continue interacting with polite society. That term is rapidly becoming wildly innappropriate in all contexts

You keep using that word. You know which.
Stop.

They aren’t defending the suggestion. They are taking issue with you using a medical condition to insult someone’s intelligence.
Ableism isn’t OK.
How is it ableist to call a mentally challenged solution mentally challanged…?
I never insulted anyone’s intelligence.
It’s retarded to stare at the sun during an eclipse, stating that isn’t ableist. That’s all I did.

Do you know what ableism vs an insult vs a slur is…?
Because some are allowed and some aren’t here. I didn’t use ableism, and the other stuff has no rules here.
So if I’m being accused and having my stuff moderated incorrectly, that’s a problem.
If you’re an expert on these things, then your litany of abuses must have been made knowingly:

Instead of lecturing others, I suggest educating yourself, before you catch a ban.
There are in fact rules about them.
You say from an alt account with almost exclusively controversial stuff… okay….
Where? Ableism isn’t even on there either, so mods already overstepped.
I’m willing to bet that’s the worst thing that will happen to you this year, and you’ll still whine about it.
