Problem with your answer is it encompasses everything, so it's a good one. It encompasses all the things I hate. Useful idiots, social media, crybabies, disengeniousness, accountability, mental illness, disorders, and lying.

And you can answer the question seriously and say nigger, I just did it. It isn't being edgy. I talk like this in real life, and if everyone did, there would be a lot less pussies. You can't have both. Quit crying about words. If they hurt your feelings, you're part of this weakness you chastise.

Word policing is ultimately futile. When people couldn't say niggers without rebuke they said thugs instead and when that fell out of vogue we just got a new batch of euphemisms like ""teens"" and "scholars." Or referencing memes ("I'd like to solve the puzzle").

I was recently told never to use the word retard. How is it better if I say a word instead that implies the same thing as retard. We're just creating a forever growing list of forbidden words.

This is called the euphemism treadmill . Good reading
