Joe Rogan Slammed For Claiming Resurrection of Disability Slur Is 'One of the Greatest Cultural Victories'

It must be nice to have so much money and freedom from consequences that that's the kind of thing that bothers you.

Lol, I'll never understand these people. The word "retard" was never gone. At no point was it illegal or impossible to say it, similar to any other word. The worst consequence for saying something that's bound to piss people off is just that, pissed off people. You never faced jail time and I can't think of anyone "canceled" for it.

It never left. Using it still makes you look like an asshole.

All these "free speech absolutists" still don't realize that free speech does not mean immunity from consequences of that speech from your fellow citizens. It's almost like they just haven't paid attention for their entire lives.

Make Hate Great Again?

Some fucking people man... Their entire identity is hatred and gargling Trump's balls...

Joe Rogan also claimed Musk did a roman salute and how we are all crazy for thinking it's a nazi salute.

How about it's just in poor taste to use it and its use probably says more about the user than the target?

And, if you use it, just be prepared for someone to take exception to you using it and you might just trigger yourself an ass beating or some other adverse consequence. Kind of like playing with fire crackers or bullet ants. Maybe, just maybe, you can find a better way to insult someone that's a little more clever and incisive and makes you look like less of an ignorant asshole.

Wonder how long he would think this if everyone just started introducing him as "The Retard, Joe Rogan." I'd bet the very millisecond it started to affect him personally, he'd be changing his tune. These fucking ghouls don't want freedom of speech, they want the ability to police OUR speech.

It never went anywhere, there was just a heavily monied effort to quite literally equate it with the n-word.

In the immortal words of George Carlin "it's bullshit, and it's bad for you."

This entire subject is a distraction. Stay focused on the major problems these clowns are creating, and we can all have a war of words when the fascists have been expelled from the highest eschilons of the US government.

Just in case anyone had begun to consider that Joe Rogan is anything but an absolute infected boil on the ass of civilization.

I mean, i never really stopped calling people like Rogan and Trump retarded... But calling it a great cultural victory, is just... Retarded.

Ironically, retard was originally a kinder word cooked up to describe people with lower intelligence, along with moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile. Over time these became pejoratives. Just kind of interesting to see how language develops and terms intended to avoid offense over time turn into ones that offend people.

I hate this guy almost as much as Asmond Gold. Who I fear is much more insidious going after young impressionable “gamers”

Personally I don't really care about these words getting used outside of hateful intent, except that their continued casual use leaves the door open for haters to use the words. I grew up with a bunch of aboriginals who used abbo, widely considered a slur in Australia. I don't use it anymore because it leaves the door open for haters to use the word. I will call some of my gay friends poof, another semi slur, but only in private. It's not about your intent when using the word, it's about the effect on society when the word gets used.

Honestly, if the culture war has been going on this long and the "greatest victory" they can show for it is feeling comfortable using the r slur again, thats just deeply sad for them lol.

As the saying goes:

Don't mock bacteria, it's the only culture some people have

How this fucking australopithecus became a thought leader, I will never understand.

So the steroids got to his last brain cells. Good for him.

I’ve had a bad habit of using the word and every time I do I feel like an asshole, attaching Rogans name to it is an excellent deterrent mnemonic device.

is this where i say that we should cal him "Whee Rogan The Little" ?

using WRTL as an abbreviation is permitted and encouraged.

Was he really slammed though?

Joe Rogan has really sold out to his mentally absent base. What a victory for them.

It's okay if he uses that word, he has the pass. The ivermectin really set his IQ below Forest Gump levels.

I'm not american and don't care about politics but I was watching a show the other day and when Rogan appeared as a guest I had to shut off after 5 minutes. This person is so annoying I couldn't stand. Don't know how you guys do it. I didn't even liked him in newsradio and I loved the show.

Come on

And slam

And welcome to the

JAM

That's retarded

Roided out Roe Jogan has tiny testies🍒

Sorry guys, this one's locked now. Y'all need to grow the fuck up.

Of course retards like Rogan and Trump like that word.

Idiot! Imbecile! Moron!!

I've always preferred fucktard, it's more satisfying

toe rogain just using the slur that describes himself perfectly

You see, the problem with that word is that people who want to keep it around really make me wanna use it.

Roided retard Rogan relishes resurrected....ribbing? Shit, I'm stumped.

I've never met anyone with this disability as vile, hateful, violent, or senseless as any of them. And that's saying something because once one beat me up on the playground.

What a mong.

This man is nearly sixty years old

he's an almost 60 year old man.

They can describe themselves again. I suppose that could be considered cultural restoration?

slam

Tsk. Maaaaannn... Smdh.

What's wrong with people

no one has ever been offended by the word removed, unless they are getting offended on someone else's behalf to virtue signal

Joe Rogan, king of dumbasses.

what drinking too much donkey juice does to the brain

Can all newspapers, when writing about Rogan, now use the term "Noted r-word, Joe Rogan..."

How could this word even be removed. Unlike the N word it actually has legitimate uses. I didn't even know it was "bad" to say.

flame retardant.

So he wants people to call him that?

Joe Rogan identifies as a South Park character: offensive and two-dimensional

Outside of having people over with some interesting topics Rogey is a below average comedian.

It’s still used today in valid contexts, e.g. in the automotive industry, “retard timings.” The only real slow or dense person seems to be Joe.

I watched this episode and, unlike the comments in this thread, it wasn't removed until I slowed the playback speed down.
