although i generally am in favor of the leftist / sjw tumblrsphere coming back from the peaks of softboy McElroy-ism into something more irreverent and “edgy”, some of you are getting a bit too comfortable just throwing around “retarded” like it’s 2005 again

I was just thinking about what it would be like if Devo’s 1977 “Mongoloid” had been “Retard”

In a world where they did call the song “Retard”, imagine arguing to them that it would be less offensive if they named the song with a synonym that referenced a specific real human ethnic group.

Oh no “Mongoloid” used to double for steppe and Down’s types, cause of their eyelids
