It's a clinical term, and being obese is something that 90%+ of the time, you have a choice in.
Nobody picks their race. You cannot change your race.
What I'm saying is, no, those terms are not remotely the same.
Retard was a clinical term as well, so was mongoloid idiot and imbecile.
I don't agree with the fatty in the post at all, just saying.
I'm not gonna lie, I miss the R word so much. Everything else I totally get and can self censor. But when I see someone cut across 3 lanes of traffic without a blinker... They're just a tard!
I'm a little disappointed that it was a medical term at all. It's a very functional word, like in flame retardant, or an engine retarder.
I think it would have been much more applicable to methods of thinking and epistemology, like thought stopping techniques and special pleading, as these also severly restrict one's critical thought yet can be overcome socially. There's no sense having a social label for a medical condition, so don't use such a punchy easy to use word for it if it's not a choice.
