overview for EABOD25

What I mean is anyone can be referred to as an idiot or a moron without isolating a select few. When you say "retard" you're not only offending a small group of people, you're offending everyone you call that and the group because you feel those people are lesser.

Don't call yourself that. And that I disagree because those other words can be used to justify a generalization while "retard" is not a generalized word.

And I'm just going to assume what you said is an apology, but you haven't been able to figure how to comfortably apologize to people online. Apology accepted

Whoa whoa whoa. Slowdown. I didn't downvote you. I actually forgot to vote at all

And you're insinuating that I'm a retard because I downvoted you? Take a day from lemmy friend. We all get worked up and I believe you're worked up
