The trailier has it backwards. Retarded started as medical term (as did idiot) and then moved into popular usage.
From wikkipedia:
It was previously used as a medical term. The verb “to retard” means to delay or hold back, and so “retard” became known as a medical term in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe children with intellectual disabilities, or retarded mental development.[5] Until the 1960s, the terms moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile were all genuine, non-offensive terms used, including by psychiatrists, to refer to people with mental intellectual disabilities and low intelligence. These words were discontinued in that form when concerns arose that they had developed negative meanings, with “retard” and “retarded” replacing them.[6][7] After that, the terms “handicapped” (United States) and “disabled” (United Kingdom) replaced “retard” and “retarded”. Disabled is now considered a more polite term than handicapped in the United States as well.
TLDR:
Retard, moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile were all once medical terms that morphed into slurs when adopted in general usage.
Cool, now I’m getting weird COVID misinformation videos fed to me after clicking on this. Who is this YouTuber and why did he just fuck up my feed?
Yeah if you go into the channel’s other videos it’s a bunch of COVID conspiracies unfortunately. You can go into library, then history, click on the video’s 3-dot menu, and remove it from your watch history.
COVID had a big impact on a lot of things.
Just because people question COVID does not make it a"conspiracy", there are bad faith takes.
If you are willing to learn more on what, we on the left, see as vile polices due to COVID:
