Okay let me make this simpler for you

Look up "dote"

"R*****" literally means to make slower. As in speed, not brain function.

It's almost like the reason it's offensive has nothing to do with its literal definition.

It absolutely referred to slow mental faculties as well, which is why it was a common word for that until it somehow became offensive. You really arent very good at this lol

It's probably a combination of mod illiteracy and the fact that "dotard" ends with a certain combination of four letters common to many pejorative portmanteaus on the internet.

Favourite part of this site is that I couldn't tell someone "I am late" in French.


Just looked it up. Lol... yeah, that would get modded unless your on a French board (probably would anyway) or the mods speak French (not likely).

They literally adopted "mentally r*****ed" because of its base definition when they were trying to move on from moron/imbecile/idiot/feeble-minded because those terms had gotten too negative.

Which is the real irony given what happened to the new term.

Dispute that. Trump is not a user here and is not protected by kindergartenFaqs flaming rules.

I fought calling Justin Trudeau a name all the way to the top, and an inanimate set of legislation. A gang of crazed mods went Berkeley on my ass and called me a bigot. It was the cringiest thing I've ever seen here.

Every mod who upheld it and the original who modded it should be removed as a mod for a month as it is obvious they let their emotions take over their duties.

Along with the little mod notes we should get the mods account name as well so we know who sucks at modding

lmao

"the definition of the word being pointed out as having nothing to do etymologically with the suffix i erroneously assumed it did does not make it any less acceptable to post"

yyyyyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Or, you know, it could be because it's still an insult, and therefore still against the rules.

And even more so when you consider that the very same people who get all up in arms over "r*****", throw those older terms, the ones it replaced, around without a second thought.

Those words were normal words in our parents' lexicon and were already out of use in any "official" capacity by the mid-80s, and were questioned even back in the 60s.

Considering how quickly "mentally r*****ed" fell out of favour (like 20 years, so not even one generation) it obviously wasn't a great choice from the start.
