Another word for ‘developmentally challenged’.

OK. Ta.

So why are they bleeping out “retarded”?

NOt allowed to say ‘offensive’ or ‘trigger’ words on social media e.g. if you say ‘retarded’ and ‘murder’ in the same post, someone might be so offended that they go over the edge and decide to soothe their rage by doing a mass shooting at the special school.

Also various social media platforms target such words and censor the poster or ban them or slow down their stream or stuff. Plus bots.

You often see the word “graped” used instead of “raped”
