That is so sad. I hope you never have to face someone with a disability and tell them why you think using a word like that as a slur is joyful 😡🤬

I mean I have autism and don't mind people using autist in the same way they use the word retard
It’s being used as an insult and to belittle and humiliate. As a parent of someone with an acquired Brian injury that had to put up with this shit all through school, NO.

I feel pretty conscious of this; I don't want to make people feel bad even if I have a point to prove, but also this doesn't feel like the same thing widely enough; retard feels somewhat affectionate/positively valenced in context lately
