Whenever medical science came up with a term to describe people with cognitive or intellectual impairments, it eventually became used as a derogatory insult. The R word was going out for a long time before Rosa’s Law put the mail in the coffin.
Rosa's Law - Wikipedia

Under Rosa’s law, these would be described respectively as profound, severe, and moderate levels of intellectual disability.

Unfortunately, I don’t see the cycle breaking anytime soon. We got idiot and moron from the same medical textbooks as “retarded”.

Gen B squeakers will start calling people “profoundly/severely disabled” in COD 2k35 and the cycle will be born anew.

this game is fucking PROFOUNDLY DISABLED rage quits
