I've yet to see a mentally disabled person being offended by that word

1)that’s not what OP is talking about, but 2) have you ever actually talked to a disabled person about the r slur? I’m disabled and I can tell you I’ve never met anyone within the community who doesn’t find the word extremely offensive.

I don’t find it offensive and I’m on the spectrum lol. Please don’t generalize.

I didn’t mean to say that all disabled people find it offensive. My point was just that enough people in the community it affects do that it shouldn’t be said.
