All I’m saying is seeing the r word all over bitcoin twitter turns off a lot of people and makes them put judgement on the community, amongst a host of other things, creating another barrier to bitcoin

Our only comment can’t be “oh that’s their problem grow up”

We know that, that’s why we’re doing it. It keeps the right people away.

Sure, some people who get offended by anything and everything. That’s not what I’m talking about and doing something to keep people away seems…idk? Like not what we’re here for

I imagine most bitcoiners would agree that it’s best to be prudent and not use the word retarded when addressing someone who is mentally disabled out of politeness even when that might literally/clinically be the case. But to allow the politically correct to control what one says is nonsense. Control words -> Control minds

Well said. Rhetorically: where do we draw the line for catering to feelings of those wanting to get offended on behalf of others or appear virtuous

There’s no malice towards people with disabilities. Calling someone a “Mongoloid” would be more offensive on multiple levels but no one cares about that word since it’s not used much.
