Recently I’ve heard everyone saying the word ‘schizo’ and I know it’s just the latest buzzword that everyone says to fit in or whatever but I really feel like we can be more creative than calling someone a legitimate mental health disorder

I’m sure this is going to sound like some carebear shit but I also find it weird how prevalent the use of words like “retarded” is. Obviously this isn’t limited to TF2 but we’ve largely cleaned up to not accept people saying transphobic/homophobic/racist/sexist shit, why is it okay to say stuff that’s offensive to mentally disabled people?

It’s not going to change overnight but I feel like people should be more aware about it and try to not say stuff like “this guy has downs” “this guy is autistic” “that was a schizo bomb” “that play was so retarded”

I promise u will be perfectly fine with any number of other words that don’t make those of us who Go Outside and interact with normal humans IRL feel uncomfortable

man you people, especially rgl, have made it an absolute nightmare to ever type anything offensive in chat. seriously this is some "carebear" shit that would be a nonissue with some basic thick skin and common sense.

don't say overly retarded things, but dont get upset at trash talk. it's not hard

Words like "Idiot" and "Moron" also used to be technical terms to refer to people with mental disorders, but their meaning has changed with use. The same thing is happening to "Retard." You don't use it to describe people with mental disorders anymore, that's rude. You call your friends retards because they are acting retarded.

MiG-21bisYou don't use it to describe people with mental disorders anymore, that's rude

i get it's often got a harmless intention and in online communities has taken on a different context. its not a word im uncomfortable using around my friends or in more closed online circles.

but lets not pretend like it isn't a word still prevalently used to bully and disparage ppl with mental health or developmental issues, or used callously as a general insult explicitly at those people's expense.

Crit_Noobman you people, especially rgl, have made it an absolute nightmare to ever type anything offensive in chat

i havent really had any issues with this and i type in chat a lot. what sort of things are you finding difficult to say?

if u cant trash talk without saying a slur ur just dogshit at it. its not hard to come up with good insults and it really just shows ur incredibly limited vocabulary.

im gonna give you guys my bad takes which i might find myself reforming in the future

i don't think calling someone retarded is any more offensive than calling someone stupid, the reason people find it offensive now is because it's been colloquially used to describe people with physical handicaps, not necessarily mentally handicapped people finding it offensive. My cousin who I love very much was choked by the umbilical cord in the womb and is a very smart dude given his situation, when I say retarded I don't even think of someone like him I would call someone retarded in the exact same fashion I'd call someone stupid.

I also feel like my simple presence in the community might have inspired people a bit to start saying schizo as a word to make fun of people. Schizophrenia is a degenerative brain disease that is torturous and unimaginably hard to deal with to someone who isn't experiencing it, and people use the inappropriate shortening of the clinical name in the same context you'd call someone a tranny or a black instead of a transgender person or black person. It doesn't bother me that much now since I hear it every day but that's just me becoming inevitably desensitized to it.

to my knowledge autism is a term we use to describe a set of characteristics someone exhibits even in a diagnosis process, not like a disorder or disease attributed to genetics in the same way as other things, so I don't think saying that one is AS bad I guess?

I saw an extremely old clip of me as a 15 yr old saying my teammate was r***ing someone as a comm. I wouldn't even think about saying that for a split second nowadays. For whatever reason a LOT of people did that back in the day and I feel like pretty much everyone understands now that it's fucked up to say that.

and I think it's ok for people to say words that refer to their own minority in certain contexts, nobody should be telling a black person they cant say the n word. It is legitimately rare for someone to be bigoted towards their own minority when they say something like that

bear when you and other people kept telling me to kill myself a long time ago that was a time in my life where i had already tried to multiple times and even after it was said from yall. I wouldn't kill myself now and have also become desensitized to people saying it personally so it doesn't bother me in the slightest nowadays, but I'm lucky to not have permanently fucked up my body from the attempts. Think about who might be on the receiving end of things when you say something.

idk just be nice to each other LOL

the thing with saying fag or faggot is that people can't intuitively know you belong to the non-straight minority, but I totally agree that you're a retarded faggot tojo.

I actually messaged an RGL admin one time trying to see if I could become an RGL certified faggot so I could say it in matches. Needless to say they don't have a system for that yet, but I think given RGL's history with banning black people for using the n word it really ought to be considered. Also, am I piggybacking off of the plights of a minority group that I am not a part of so that I can say faggot in an online videogame? Maybe.
