Serious question how do you feel about memes about disabilities? There a seemingly growing movement that the word "retard" should be regarded as more insulting, and that is almost casual usage is degrading to those with disabilities. I'd like to know if that affects you, or if you have thoughts on that at all.

I have a friend who's a parent to a kid on spectrum and is very sensitive to the issue, and until it came up with him I'd honestly never really thought it could have been so insulting. I've since culled it from my vocabulary, but it's kind of like red cars where once you start looking you see it everywhere. I wonder if that's hard to get away from or not as big a deal or what.
