The link from NPR shows in 2012 it was offensive but still being compared to “Idiot” or “Moron” which I’d wager is where it was at the start of being used as an insult.
My god, you didn’t even read them. Bailey literally says in the NPR article:
She said that it’s not offensive and that it’s the same as saying cretin or moron, and it’s definitely not.
“She” being Ann Coulter, who used the slur to begin with. So sure, it’s comparable to ‘moron’… if you’re Ann Coulter, which I hope you are not.
Again- It is offensive, I do not like to see it here, and I will delete it sometimes.
That is my final word on it as a mod and I advise you not to try to argue with me further on this.

That’s ridiculous to say. You’re of course free to have a different opinion, and free to not respond, but a veiled threat to someone following the rules in expressing a disagreement with you is absolutely ridiculous.

I didn’t know we were having an argument on it. I agree with you for the most part and appreciate you not reactively deleting my original comment.
Have a good weekend.
Instead just threatening to if you continue to disagree.
