idk my friend uses it often on me

i am not going to lie i reclaim it only because I call myself and things that. lol. i dont cal people the r slur be ause why the HELL would i do thay hello. but i think its reclaimable in the same way Faggot is

imo I can reclaim the r slur (I'm autistic), faggot, tranny, and beaner, but the disabled community took back that slur as a way to use it playfully and not in a derogatory way (EX. that's so retarded)

that's just my opinion so feel free to flame me

the r slur was meant to describe mental conditions but over time people started to use the word to call people stupid or slow. imo theres genuinely no way to reclaim it now without it being derogatory or insulting in some way shape or form

it is reclaimable but some people say it isn't if you use it as an insult because you're using it for its intended purpose that makes it a slur in the first place if that makes sense

@/jester on ns will explain

eh don't ask me I don't really do much profanity

i dont know but ive said it before & now i feel bad even tho i should be allowed to say it

errr super duper simplifies version-
r slur used to be used as a medical term for people with autism/down syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders because it basically meant "slow" and implied that those "afflicted" with the disorders were stupid
then it became used in a term to make fun of/harass those with said disorders and eventually was really really bad
eventually it was removed from medical uses but nnow the autistic community has started to reclaim the term as our own because we would rather use it in a friendly way and not an insulting / derogatory way
sorry if thats unreadable
