      Guys, I can’t believe this has to be explicitly stated.

      You’re making fun of a mentally ill woman having a very public breakdown which is honestly uncomfortable to watch. Amazing how this is lost on everyone.

          I’ll argue all day using retarded to demonstrate the depravity and irony of this shitty thread is far less offensive than putting a woman who was sexualized as a child in arguably the peak Hollywood abusing children period and now going through a horrifically nightmare ish breakdown.

          I’ll stand and soapbox all day on the deplorables nature of this post all day with whatever language I feel like.

          She’s going to kill herself one day, you mark my words. I hope you all feel good you didn’t use the word though.

            those are 2 unrelated issues. the existence of one has nothing to do the other.

            sucks how we collectively bullied Britney. and she is still suffering the consequences of that.

            but that doesn’t mean dropping slurs is ok. Fuck using ableistic slurs is part of the problem.

            want to complain about how annoying the euphemism treadmill is, go ahead, but that’s a different conversation, and dropping slurs (besides quoting them as examples) is also not ok.
