call these people the hard R word

What the fuck is up with people actively trying to bring this slur back?

The “good old days”? Smh

No one is trying to bring it back, it’s a callout to a time in the past. That is all.

I mean, waxing poetically about the cruel shit you can't say anymore kinda feels like you want to be able to say it.

It's like a white person complaining they can't say the n word.

People are absolutely trying to bring that word back. Joe Rogan himself talked about bringing it back. It's a thing.

Oh wow, I had no idea. I don’t listen to Joe Rogan because he’s a disingenuous snake oil salesman.
