Why did they leave "Retard" out of the Remake?

How is this a politically incorrect word now but "fuck" and "shit" are not?

You sound like a fag

Because shit and fuck are just vulgar words, retard is a word that is apparently offensive to a specific group of people.

Honestly it would have felt really out of place. Tifa doesn't seem like the kind of person who would casually call someone a retard

Retards?

regular fuckin' einstein

Who fucking cares what retards think

Sadly, retard was a translation error.

who cares what you think

Can retards be offended? How do they have the mentally capacity to care? Also idiot and moron are just as offensive. Lame, too.

People who aren't retarded

No it isn't, holy fuck you RETARDS are literally so stupid you accept what some university crackpot tells you to think. Retard when someone says it just means 'idiot'. It's less offensive than the F word

The voice actress tweeted that they originally had the line in but she refused to read it. She also had riders that resulted in Rude becoming a black man and Red's voice actor had to be LGBT. She wants the character to be canonically gay in the next games, too.

>just as
Not really, in context of American localization retard is the more offensive word.

Idiot, moron, and lame are sort of archaic.

No one's debating what you're using the word for you fucking faggot, the point is that the word is used harmfully towards retards so retards get offended when you say retard.

Yes she does. My sister was like Tifa she called me retard all the time, Baka = retard

jesus christ
because people with mental disorders were called RETARDS
that's why it's insulting, it's using someone's genetic disorder as an insult.
fuck and shit do not. our society really is failing us, isn't it?

it's probably some spastic ESL shitposting

I'm pretty sure you're retarded

so there's your answer for "who cares what retards think"

It wasn't in the original script, it would be like keeping "this guy are sick" as some retarded homage.

im pretty sure you just want the word retard or nigger for the sake of being controversial rather than adding something to the story

Our society is certainly failing us when a bunch of retards get to decide what we can and cannot say.

you can say whatever the hell you want

but if you say things that are rude just don't act surprised when people think you're rude
sorta basic

Retard was a common jab in the 90s. It was completely relavent to its day

Normal people say retard all the time. Only fags go out of their way to censor themselves

Maybe one day you'll have a mentally ill child you can use as an attention-grabbing platform to advocate for the true authentic game experience.

what does she say now?

If I have a retarded kid, I'm drowning it in the tub

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY BROKEN TRANSLATION WAS SOULFULL GIVE IT BACK THAT WAS OURS THIS PHANTOM PAAAAAAIN

retard is not a big deal, so the word being in or not it makes no difference.
And before you say "then why remove it", the entire script got changed. A lot of swears got out and others got in.

Why would you even want to keep a mentally ill child

WHY ME CANT SAY RETARD
ME WANT SAY R WORD
AHHHH ME CENSORED

You SJW retards are seriously mentally ill control freak losers you know that? Cloud and Barret both say "motherfucker", an insult literally saying someone fucks their own mother, something heinously rude and offensive that leads to bar brawls, but saying "retard" another word for idiot OH NO WE MUST PSYCHOLOGICALLY POLICE NORMAL PEOPLE TO NOT SAY THAT WORD. Literally mentally ill and a threat to civil society. Retard

It's another word for idiot, but it's also a disparaging term for the mentally handicapped--at least in America.

How many times can we explain this to you?

Fuck off retard. You don't have any arguments because you know we have the reasonable and moral high ground.

>moral

What?

Mentally handicapped people are idiots. The majority of people use the word light heartedly. Get over it you control freak Schizo autist retard

Who said you aren't allowed to say it? You've got a serious victim complex.

Say whatever you want, but don't be surprised when everyone else agrees on a different meaning than you.

What. I just linked to the fact that it's not what Tifa says in the original script. Hence why they probably took it out 20+ years later since the original translation into english was infamous for being full of errors.
You can literally read the Japanese text.

>Zig Forums gets pisssed off when the word tsundere gets removed from a game because the dialog is not true to Japanese original
>Also Zig Forums gets pissed off when the word retard gets removed even though it wasn’t part of the Japanese original

You don't have the moral high ground. You can't speak honestly to the innocence of the insult because you have an autistic agenda to push that repeatedly restricts what normal people say on behalf of a tiny minority no one cares about.

cringe

You're kinda answering OPs question with your post right now. Retard is only ever used as a descriptor for a person. Fuck and shit on the other hand can just be used as an exclamation of anger or frustration.
