Not sure how old you are, or where you live/d, but it had been largely stamped out for years, especially in liberal areas. It was the whole 'good people don't use that word' kind of thing. Any area where liberal moms held power used shame and nagging to shut that word down.
There was a time 'retard' was very popular, and then a time it was considered a really bad word, and most people stopped using it in any sort of polite company. Similar to "faggot." Tons of people used to use it, then it got added to the societal no-no list, and usage largely dropped off.
Now "retard" is coming back, and nature is clearly healing.

A reminder the first Hangover movie from 2009 has them pick up the doctor with Bradley Cooper literally shouting "Paging Doctor Faggot" from the car out on the street.
Edit: Also Idiocrasy from 2006.
Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.
Right, kick ass. Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...
He would soon discover that in the future, justice was not only blind, but had become rather retarded as well.
Both were edgy movies, though. A few uses doesn't disprove that it had been largely driven out of societal norms. Idiocracy was a post-collapse settings filled with really stupid people. Hangover the whole point was they were getting crazy, and they're immature.
If you do a search, you'll find people bitching about it, which is hilarious.
It's a "problematic comedy that failed to stand the test of time," and "the film’s stance on gender and race seems to come from another time and place."
It was an edgy movie, and plenty of people hated it for that. If you want a laugh, search "Hangover faggot," and see people crying. Also, the clips of the scene I found are age-gated, which makes it funnier.
Also, "you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded" is such a fucking classic.
My 10 year old nieces say "retard" pretty often. They must have picked it up within the past few months because I never heard them say it until recently.
I'll be honest, I was surprised at first when my brother didn't admonish them because he's an NPR listening normie.
I remember in school we'd call people "retards" on the playground. Nobody ever got butthurt over it except for someone once in a while until that person grew a spine like they're supposed to as they mature.
Of course it also helped that we didn't have social media at our fingertips to distract us from what was right in front of us, and immortalize the things we did so they could be held over our heads later.
She could have been and actor, distorted her face and did the retard voice as well. If you had put her in a wheelchair and rolled her around in public no one would have know she was fully functional.
It wasn't my mom, it was the collective amalgamation of liberal moms in any group.
My mom was always pretty cool, and is now downright based, at least if we're grading on a curve for women of an older generation. She voted Trump, didn't get the vax, is getting increasingly anti-Israel, and more.
The South reigns supreme. Literally nothing has changed in my State since Trump was elected. I might as well have been watching the news about Israel and Gaza when it comes to "Culture Wars" and what not.
We say slurs, we say retard, we say and do whatever we want. The only bad thing here is what's always been bad here, not much to do for entertainment beyond what fun you make yourself lmao
I remember when I traveled to the South in the early 2000s and was surprised to hear people saying "nigger" openly, which was unheard of up north. They'd even say it right in front of niggers. Unlike TikTok videos, the niggers didn't do shit about it.
I wonder if they still say it. It's been decades since I've been down there.
While what you're saying is 100% true, as a software engineer for smaller companies, it never really disappeared. "What the fuck" and "that's retarded" have always been staples of the programmer vernacular.

The only time I've ever given any consideration to not using it is around my friend who's little brother is actually retarded and has asked me not to. Everyone else can get fucked.
When was it ever not mainstream? the only retards who stopped using the word retards were the extremist woketards.

I cannot imagine growing up like that, my mom used to pretend she had cerebral palsy which was fucking hilarious.
...if you're talking about the gesture I think you are, that was more or less the silent version of calling someone retarded...

Well, good.
In 2010 Obama signed into law that banned the word in federal paperwork. Since then the media has mirrored the move
That makes this fit even better.

why are you bothering to reply to a "newfag with an agenda" as you like to call me, female? fuck off from my posts.
