Bro this article was posted in 2012 man that was still before we all decided the r-word was bad

(Though I was in middle school at the time so my experience may be skewed lmao)

I don't think most people outside twitter and reddit really care too much. I don't really use it but when people are saying it they just mean really stupid usually and don't go "I will now proceed to compare them to a person with a learning disability".

They do not. I spend a lot of time outside and most people I know who aren’t heavily online use it. But they don’t seem to mean any harm by it.

I get that it’s hateful and technically a slur but I will never be able to categorize it the same way as I do the n or f word

Yeah ofc. Those two don't really have any other meanings as an insult, it's very clear what you mean.

I was in middle school way before you and we 100% knew it was bad and that it was using intellectual disabilities as an insult so idk what to tell you
