Fuck you and your entitlement to the English language.

Guess what? When you use the word "retarded" in a fic title when a character isn't ACTUALLY FUCKING RETARDED?

YOU MIGHT BE A JACKASS.

JUST SAYIN'.

Any use of that word that lessens it's ACTUAL MEDICAL FUCKING DEFINITION is derogatory. I don't give a shit about it's synonyms. If you are using it's synonyms as a reason to use THAT WORD then, guess what? YOU CAN USE THE FUCKING SYNONYMS IN YOUR FIC &/OR TITLE.

IT'S REALLY EASY. WATCH:

Repressed

SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS? AAAAMAAAAAZING.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT ALL.

Don't fuck with me after I've been battling Walmart on a Saturday afternoon. LOL

(PS- SEE, LOOK, I CAN MAKE PUT-UPON OPEN POSTS ABOUT FANDOM TOO. TRANSLATION: THIS IS A RARE UNLOCKED POST.)

Given that my normal reflex when someone uses that word outside of the very specific medical context is to slap the back of their head, your restraint is admirable.

I don't belong/subscribe to either of the comms where the original fic popped up, but it wasn't hard to pick out. I thought you and [livejournal.com profile] shinyopals were quite civilized and reasonable in pointing out her poor - and obviously quite deliberate - word choice.

The fact that she was using the term "retarded" specifically as an insult and then gets all stalky-butthurt over getting called out... what f*cking hypocritical bullsh*t. Yes, clearly, commenting with anything other than telling her what a genius she is and gushing is being a bully.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Dude, IDEK what she was thinking. I normally wouldn't have had it come up on my radar either, but it was a subject of discussion elsewhere and I asked to see what everyone was speaking about. Even then, I wasn't going to say anything unless forced to.

Then she tried to "school" Opal and I sort of said "Um, okay... NO."

I have no actual confirmation the second anon was her, short of Opal checking IP addresses, but it seemed awfully convenient someone with a brain related disability came in to white knight and conveniently didn't have an LJ to boot.

Whatever. When the Anonmeme agrees with me, you know you've just opened the seventh seal of fuck-ups.

ETA: Fuuuuu... so many typos...
