You're watching a movie. Its You, your spouse, and sister in law. Then this happens. How will you feel?

[Coveero22]

One of the main characters is autistic and you say "are you sure he's autistic, he looks retarded." Then your spouse (or boyfriend or girlfriend) pauses the movie and explains to you that retarded isn't a nice word to use. She tells you this nicely, but then resumes the movie.

[Hermes-Paris]

Yeah dood... that word pisses a lot of people off these days. Once said it cannot be unsaid. These days everybody is kinda sensitive. One wrong word and you can find yourself all alone with nobody to love you. Say the C word and you might as well go into witness protection.

[Coveero22]

Am I the only one who finds it annoying that people are that sensitive?

[Hermes-Paris]

I live in South America now and people just don't care about that crap down here.

[Coveero22]

Huh America is so soft. ..

[coffeewithcream]

That would end the relationship right there.
She can watch the movie for the rest of her life on her own.
:)

[Coveero22]

Lol why? What do you find annoying about that?

[Coveero22]

Please let me know

[coffeewithcream]

It's not annoying. It's a dealbreaker. No discussion, no goodbye, just pick up your coat, walk to the car and drive away.

Well she’s just telling it how it is nothing wrong with that, she can say what’s on her mind.

[Secret6620]

I would feel extremely uncomfortable and a bit angry at the use of that word... 🎀

[Secret6620]

YAY 🙋 Thanks for most helpful girl 🎀

[jamesgoldman]

Laugh... I am autistic and refer to myself as retarded so that's a green light

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I would feel like I was lectured to be a virtue signaler and I would be a little annoyed

[BlackWidow93]

I'd just say yup and move on

[Coveero22]

What if they ask you "you know what I mean? Dont you agree?"

[BlackWidow93]

Depending upon the context, I would ask them why they're being so sensitive. It's just a movie.

[Avicenna]

I'd feel a bit silly for what I said.

[Iron_Man]

I triy to blow it off so I can enjoy the movie

[Coveero22]

How would you feel if your girlfriend or wife was politically correct about things like that

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I'd think "Whatever... this is just your opinion

[jasco]

Well simple don't say retarded around her/him
