Its like 2025, the usual slurs have gotten more creative, and more prone to bypassing methods being made for em. Its gotta so bad as simple as typing "nga" is easy enough to slip through even something like Roblox kids are doing it. I think it would be best if some of y'all take a long look at how ABSURB the official Racial Slur Database has gotten to the point there is triple digit worth of the N for each race. I also think it is high time "tranny" or "trannies" is added to it since the TF2 playerbase has gained quite a sizeable amount of transitioning players and lots of people are just very aggressive to em for no rational reason to the point people are now getting stalked server to server and their profiles mimicked to cause drama over it.

Just don't add retard to it. If someone calls you that its equivalent to calling someone stupid. Any one who is actually intellectually disabled really lacks the capacity to be offended by it. If you are offended by it, you aren't probably retarded.

People have increasingly suggested it a slur, but I have NEVER ONCE seen it used hatefully against a person that is genuinely intellectually disabled.

(I did not read the rest of this thread so idk if this even came up lol, but Im putting this here)

There’s been many discussions about this. The community consensus is pretty clear that retard is ok.

*as long as it is not directed for use at a known disability or to harass a member of the community after they’ve been asked to stop*

It’s a great balance
