Yep, also "dumb", " lame " etc. These are words for disabilities which then entered common parlance as slurs.

"retarded" is actually the other way round in that it just means "slowed" - but has historically been used as an insult directed towards people with mental disabilities.

Personally I think that what's offensive is scolding people for using the word in the correct context which prevents society from losing the association with the disabled and instead continues perpetuating that meaning even though that's the opposite of what they claim to be trying to do

I had similar, my Bluetooth headphones that I'd been using with the PS3 didn't work on my PS4, but I think the reason given was that they didn't support Bluetooth encryption standards or something.

Like bro, I do not care if someone eavesdrops the audio of my Kingdom Hearts session - just give me the choice
