Hey mod, this is the original anon who asked if that word can be used as anything besides a slur. I just want to make it clear that I'm not the same person who made this comment.
I agree that slurs should not be allowed on the meme. I was actually disagreeing with you phrasing of "retarded" as a slur because I don't think it can be used as anything but anymore. So I think you phrasing it like that (instead of simply "repost without the r-word") leaves it open-ended. That's what I was trying to say.
