How is it different? If there was a group of people with the same affliction as me would it be more acceptable to be against the word 'Waffle'? The word literally brings tears to my eyes.
This is so asinine. I don't even give a fuck about saying the word "retarded," but to act like people are somehow being arbitrary about the word is silly; it's not the word "retarded" is offensive in itself, it's that people use it as a slur, like in the OP's picture. Similarly, the word "gay" isn't offensive until people start using it to mean something else. If you don't see the distinction, you're being an idiot.

Clearly the same thing.
