        I could ask you the same question about the word “retard”.

          You’ve used the slur countless times in this thread.

          But no one in this thread has every said every man on the planet is toxic. Where did that strawman come from? Who are you quoting?

              It is a slur. That is a fact, you cannot just say “nuh-uh” to facts.

                  You do not get to decide to override facts. You can’t decide that a slur isn’t a slur any more than you can decide the sky is red.

        “Wahh I still can’t come up with any good faith argument so I’m gonna segue into some other sad little thing I get upset about and call you a hypocrite with absolutely no evidence!”

        Gee, that’s funny. I could say the same exact thing about you for getting so upset over a sad little thing like someone using the word “retard”, y’know.

        Oh, how the turn tables. 😉
