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

All the people with cerebral palsy that I've ever known get white-hot furious over the misuse of "retarded," in every case because it was frequently used to incorrectly describe their own conditions back in the days when CP was poorly understood - and was frequently thrown around as an insult.

That she would come in and pretend to be someone with an unrelated disability for the sake of looking sympathetic - what a very special snowflake she is.

Bonus points for her using the term "disentitled" to describe people who either have disabilities or their advocates being upset over the abuse of terms related to their conditions. Privilege showing much?
