RE: Selling my GGP - The mental anguish24 Nov 2020 22:47
Hello All,
I neither approve nor disapprove of Napthman1's use of the term Mongtard. I am simply making observations.
The term Mongtard has multiple origins and the meaning has moved on, like all living languages. The Australians have historically used the term to describe a stupid dog (mongrel) and on a wider note, it is also used to describe a stupid person. Neither term is anything to do with a person who has Downs Syndrome.
If I was a young person with Downs Syndrome, which is classified as a disability, I would be mortified if my father mentioned, in an open chat room, my medical condition, which I may wish to keep private. The objection to the term could have been expressed without the personal reference to his son, and without the threat, which defames his son's behaviour and character.
IMO, both posts are possibly not genuine.
