Idiot used to be a more sensitive term for mental development issues, then people started saying to make fun of stupid people so it became offensive and we started saying the r word to be more sensitive. The cycle continues. We’re always gonna have a word like that. I don’t see why have to jump through these hoops

As a black person, this is 100% NOT the same thing. Like at all. Slippery slope fallacy at its finest. False equivocation.
