So calling someone R*** is not allowed but calling them shit-for-brains is, though the intended meaning is pretty much the same.

I think it's more like if the name "amvalo" caught on as an insult, which meant someone had shit for brains. Both "amvalo" and "shit for brains" would then hold the same meaning, but only one of those terms would be a needless attack on amvalo.

Yeah it’s all about the 3rd party who gets insulted. I have one friend whose brother is disabled and he’s told me off for using it, which I get. Transgression is part of the appeal of curse words

I agree it’s rude but banning a discord of 50k people just for that is highly sus

That's funny when your username is dork which was a pejorative word not a long ago

Except that "retard" is using people with a genuine genetic disorder as a stick to hit other people with.

Saying that someone is being dense is not the same as using a disability as a pejorative.
