Instead of calling mentally disabled people the r word we can just call them Phillies fans.
That's effed up. Can't we call them Cubs fans instead (irrelevant since 1908).

What exactly is the intent behind use the r-word without being hateful toward something or someone?
it literally used to be a medical term for someone with an IQ a few standard deviations below average.
It is also a very valid and accurate description for the majority of people who play in EM if you review any games.

If someone doesn't know that you're making fun of them, then that actually makes it really good and sound and indeed even healthy to make fun of them.

Before I read this thread, I thought to myself, "How many mentally handicapped people play this game?". Assuming the amount was little to none, I had no problem saying "THE R WORD".

After looking into this thread and reading some of the responses (from the majority vote, unsurprisingly) I now realize the amount of mentally handicapped people using the website is *exceptionally* higher than I previously thought.

I apologize.
well some people have family members/loved ones who suffer so i understand why people would be offended by it

You guys we were doing so well. We even managed to get through a race discussion with minimal harm done if you don't count Sirius and Rutab.

Retti wanted action on his Easter Sunday. And he got it. With Goodbar.

Man people really love vying for all of those minorities (because they have a black, Hispanic, Asian, disabled, AND mentally disabled friend) because how would we know if they'd be offended by it?!

It's a pretty funny word to use.
