The thing with the euphemism treadmill is that the referent is still obviously fucking bad (e.g. retard -> slow -> intellectually disabled) that the new euphemism immediately takes on the negative connotation. An easy visible example of this is the sort of stuff you see on Ganker or 4chan, you don't need to say "moron" to mean "moron" anymore, you can say "youths" or "joggers" or etc and everyone will know what your intention is.
In order for any word referring to the retarded to be not insulting, you'd have to make the retarded not retarded, which obviously can't happen.
You call someone a retard to shame them. The implication is that the person is not retarded and should have known better.
If they feel insulted instead of ashamed - they're retarded.
There are many ways to be retarded, but in the situation above it's clearly outlining someone who failed to recognize someone else's thought-process.
In their defense, allowing people to make their own mistakes is human dignity. But this is unacceptable to Ronfar who regrets his own inaction in the past. Which is to say he's just as guilty as they are.
If there's something wrong here, it's not the word "retard" but the blatant chauvinism that would deny female characters agency in favor of male character development.
a while back while drinking at a friend's house i called him a retard in front of this chick i didn't know well and she started preaching at me about it. i looked at her and said "i don't care", and then explained that i called him a retard because i love him. fucked her later that night, mean word police really just are about empty power plays.
Doesn't this just smell of a scenario revision?
She was kidnapped. But they act like it was her choice. Then she jumps off the tower for dramatic flare.
It being her plan for a chance to send him seems like more of a revision to me. >does whole ceremony fairly willingly >has no idea whether people will try save her or not >only wipes mouth and attempts sending when she see's her rescuers
What was her original plan if her team either couldn't find her in time or just accepted her decision? Letting Symore pound her puss all night on their wedding night so she could send him when he falls asleep and there are no guards around?
imagine being so impotent that you can't even use a real insult, you have to make up some non-word because you're terrified you might accidentally call out one of your special pet groups
Back when the world wasn't so retarded.
The education reforms skipped memory skills among other things. They made "retard" a bad word to force a generation to accept incompetence.

from men it's a limp dicked appeal to women
from women it's a shit test to see if you're that first guy
a then you woke covered in sweat, alone as you always are
Not bad for a reply from a retard. Good job little buddy!
Look at this woman make her own decisions.
We have to stop her!
>Not you Lulu. Stay on the ship.
>my woman's getting stolen
>whoa dude this is rad, imma do a flip
tidus really didn't care, did he?
>You didn't kidnap me.
>You activated my trap card: "Dignity of the Retarded"

I'm pretty sure Yuna was suppose to die
i doubt they had any plans with ffx, it's just a sequence of scenes strung together.

Lol. ChatGTP is like
>The original game script doesn't use the word "retard".
Which explains why this anon can't contribute.
STUPEI
Working Designs localizations are filled with this kind of crude fanfic.
They're based.
>They're based.
Their translations are cringe and so is all the extra grinding they added into the games they localized.
is he talking about retard strength?
I think more of an "ignorance is bliss" sort of deal?
Means you get caught up in less shit
yeah, it's just great being a retard, totally stress free. what a retard...
Luna 2 >>> Luna 1
Even the love story is much better.
There are small aspects I like more in 1, but yeah I think 2 is much better in almost every way
Sure, the side girls were more charismatic in 1 even though they don't have much of a character arc, both the party members and the villains.
OH
ZOPHAR
He's on a roll ladies and gentlemen
Yes, and we called everything stupid gay. They're just words.
Was Ebonics okay back then?
