YIKES, indeed. I do NOT want to read deplorable filth like this on Hacker News in 2023. I think behavior like this pleads for a teaching moment. Perhaps a 2 week ban and a violence prevention course? This kind of hate speech is what keeps me up at night. That, and violence against women.

I wouldn't have complimented your satire had you spoonfed it.

Words have meaning. You only react in outrage to the word "retarded" because it was made taboo in the last 5 years. Think for yourself.

It's more of a cringe than outrage. And yeah, you are right, words do have meaning, which is exactly why we should be intentional with our words.

Saying retarded has been uncouth for a lot longer than five years, not sure where you have been. I've had plenty of time to think about it for myself.
