The Moon on a Rainy Night - Vol. 4 Ch. 15 - Sympathy

[Proxiehunter]

Friggin hell. As someone currently in college studying to become a teacher, I find this "teacher's" behavior to be embarrassing, infuriating, and annoying.

As a person who went to school I find it typical.

The slur was completely unessecary....

 

[krow5729]

it really isn't outside Tumbler and Twitter vocal minorities pretending it is. It just is a synonym for "stupid", "idiotic", "foolish", etc especially here in Canada, my friend's home country of Australia, and its neighboring New Zealand. The only time I've ever seen anyone consider it is a slur is in the US.
I really dislike ppl trying to make this into a slur as well. I'm both neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+ and so is my lil sis and we both have a cousin who is austistic who we love (he's only going on 8 though). All of us use retarded all the time just as we and our friends who are gay use fag, queer, and gay to self identity with all three actually having been slurs for decades, yet you'd never see a gay person getting offended being called gay or tell another off for self identifying as queer, gay, or a fag.
I call myself "fucking retarded" all the time since that's how I feel in that moment. Is it suddenly not okay for me, as someone who is both gay and neurodivergent, to use so called "slurs" to refer to myself? Are stupid, idiot, dumb, fool, mentally impaired, autistic, etc going to become "slurs" too? We'll have no words to not only refer to ourselves but for neurotypicals to use to refer to situations such as the medical field where someone needs to know if you are mentally impaired in some way to give you proper care in treatment.
Would you expect my autistic cousin who is severely scared of strangers to be treated like a neurotypical since we're not allowed to call him autistic due to it being used a slur so often? How about me who is nonverbal and types to people on my phone irl along with some korean and québec sign language to communicate with friends, families, doctors, and strangers on the rare occurance I talk to a stranger. How am I supposed to let them know I can not speak, but can hear just fine if they immediately assume I'm simply deaf and I have no words to express I'm not due to every possible word I can use to explain having been or is still actively used as a slur?

Hey as an autistic person, it is a slur.

I feel like...the one girl is also going deaf from how she put her hand over her ear in that one panel.

And you are using the term wrong, just like the ignorant goys who coined it ages ago. The term you are looking for is a dog whistle, a shibolet would be identifying gay men by their gay lisp.

You might find “Mairimashita! Iruma-kun” fun. There’s so much Judaism strewn throughout it, and it kills me.
I lost count on the kiddush cups I’ve seen.
I’m over 90% on there being an allegorical type thing to the story about the Alter Rebbe and the cop who pulled a gun on him.

I am curious if the author is going through giur at this point. I doubt it, but the amount of time spent researching our stuff is uncommon for, well, a lot of us

I am not even super religious or knowledgeable about religious tradition beyond the snippets I remember from school tanach classes, this is just one case where the reference is used in the exact opposite way it is meant to be used.

Firstly, you don’t need to be so hard on yourself.
Second, Iruma-kun kicks ass anyway.
Third, WHY WERE YOU SHITTING ON GOYIM?

…and did you go to day school without religion in your home?
You are a whole lot, and I’m gonna tap ignore so I never find an answer to any of my questions.

The fuck's a day school?
