Opinion of the R-Word Campaign

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

It says on there "Pledge your support to eliminate the demeaning use of the r-word."   Which in itself suggests that there is an appropriate way to use the word.  But then you'd think maybe they wouldn't speak of "ending" a word, and they might say the word on the site itself instead of just referring to it obliquely.   I don't think going around calling people retarded, or using the word as an insult, is generally a good idea. But as a response to this it's a bit over the top.  Retarded means slow.  Perhaps that is not a good descriptor for someone - if so the question becomes how do mental .. challenges/disabilities/differences/whatever, and how do we think of them.  That should be the focus more than a particular word.  Saying the word is probably not appropriate more often than not.  But this is a strange concept for a t-shirt.

But at least this is not at the level of ridiculousness of #banbossy
