This is an image that was posted on a forum that I frequent. These people are mostly decent and I'm pretty sure that they have absoloutely nothing against retarded/disabled people.
People on smogon call other people retards/(BAN ME PLEASE)/got all the time. How ethical is it to go around calling someone a derrogatory name that is used for people who have something about them that they cannot change.
Nobody chooses to be a homosexual or retarded.
Of course, one could argue that it's obvious that the person using the words isn't meaning to be homophobic or offensive to retards and that it's all about context.
What's your take on this?
