Quaint, you telling me what my problem is. Wonder how that’d go if we flipped the roles.

Go on then.

Slur isn’t really the right word for what was previously just an objective medical term with an actual definition. Ya know, like autism is, despite some people’s best efforts.

It is a slur now, and you know why it became a slur? Because people started using it to refer to people with deveopmental disorders as an insult, to liken them to such. Because they felt that having a developmental disorder made you less than human! And when it became a slur, it was then used to bully and harass people like me and its used means that you consider "developmentally retarded" (in the medical sense) people as something bad.

Nobody stops you from enjoying shit and there's nothing wrong with some things being considered more girly, or gay or more autistic if you don't consider being girly or gay or autistic a problem.
