Do we really need to be using ableist slurs like this? Cmon.
"Fucktard" is an ableist slur? Not sure I'm following. Oh, because it's similar to "retard?" So "fuckwad" is okay then?

It's not that I don't know, it's that I didn't consider it at all the same word anymore than I consider "pedophile" and "bibliophile" the same word. I don't see how "fucktard" disparages developmentally challenged people.

Honestly, that's my biggest issue. Wherever it came from, are developmentally challenged people really having an issue with it - consider it "ableist?" Not a rhetorical question, I'm completely ignorant here.

Wow, that's a total mischaracterization of what I said. I'm asking if the community who you're saying is being slurred actually considers it a slur.

Yeah, it's a contraction of fucking+"retard". Any other variety of fuck+x is fine. Fuckwad, fuckstick, fuckhead are all fine.
Fuckweeb?
That'll never happen.
Yeah it’s not the same as just outright saying “retard” but it’s still ableist. Fuckwad is totally fine though, however you wanna cuss is fine just now ya know
Please go outside
I typed that while sitting on a park bench and enjoying the sunshine! When have you gone outside lately? Remember: don't insult disabled people by comparing them to evil people.
VR doesn't count
Man I wish I could afford VR, must be nice for you to have that so you don’t have to go outside :((
