Whether people want to accept it or not, r*tarded is a slur. It's not acceptable to use it in any form. Call me a snowflake all you want, but as someone who is autistic and has adhd it is no ones place to tell me what can and can't offend me.

Also don't come at me with "I'm autistic and it doesn't offend me", good for you, we're not the same person.

We don't have titles for f*ggot or the n word, so why is there one for r*tard.

Edit (fixed grammar error): This is not debatable to me. Don't even bother arguing about keeping it. If having a title to be edgy and prove how stupid you are is so important just ask for a title that's like "stupid" or "professional idiot"

Edit 2: I made this post in a rush, so allow me to elaborate a little bit

We have pride titles, we have blm titles, so why is r*tarded a title? It's like a major slap in the face to us disabled people.

Gay? Sure, you have a title!
Trans? Absolutely, here's a title
Ace? Yeah!
Person of color? Definitely!!
Autistic/any other neurodivergent disorder? Nah, in fact, you get a title that directly harms and insults you!

yeah, as my friends know, r*tard is a slur, why is it in the game?

This game is very old, and when the game started it wasn't widely known as a slur. Since then we have come very far and disabled people are being treated more like humans, therefore things that weren't slurs before are now recognized as slurs

Personally, I didn't realize or acknowledge the title had existed until people started to send me this thread. However I completely understand and respect why this title would come off as insulting, it's completely inappropriate to have in the game. I truly apologize if this title had hurt or made anyone feel insulted, I will be sure to talk to the developers regarding this. I'll contact you privately whenever there's any update regarding this.
