I don’t think anyone is, or should be, begrudging him for taking offense. To play devil’s advocate, the problem is that at this point in time a lot of people simply don’t view the use of the word “retarded” in any form as inherently offensive. It’s just a fact. It isn’t seen in the same light as the n-word. A lot of this depends on culture or upbringing and stuff like that. I had no idea that anybody found it so offensive that it should be designated the “r-word” until a year or two ago. I just didn’t know. Immediately attacking someone for using it, especially when not as an insult to any real person, is an unfair response I think. I haven’t read everything in the thread or the aftermath because I want to avoid as many specific TLJ spoilers as I can for now so I may not have gotten the full gist of the problem so I probably just shut the hell up and go back to lurking for a couple more days. Anyways, I really hate to see Frink banned over this since I love him so much.
