This is retarded. There... I said what everyone is thinking but too scared to say. It's ok people we don't have to get all philosophical and say "but oh, the ideas that no one understands are the world changing ones!". No, just no. I understand this just fine. It's retarded.

Come on, folks. I feel like it's pretty well accepted that using "retarded" to describe something you don't like—or don't think highly of—is offensive.
"Retarded" to me doesn't mean what you may think it means to me. When you call something "dumb" do you realize that the word was originally used to refer to mute people? No? Well, neither does anyone else. Words evolve, and I'm sure that no one uses "retarded" because they want to make fun of people with real medical issues. They use it because it evolved to mean something completely different.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is a pretty tiring argument. "Retarded" to me doesn't mean what you may think it means to me.

No, wait, you see, it now means something entirely different! It doesn't mean anything to do with gender, it means you should have a thicker skin. So it's not actually offensive, right?

Stop being such a girl! No, wait, you see, it now means something entirely different! It doesn't mean anything to do with gender, it means you should have a thicker skin. So it's not actually offensive, right?
Let's take the word "bitch". It is deemed "offensive" but it's original connotation was just simply "female dog". However it evolved into the meaning it has today.

A simpler as well as potentially better idea might be to just make it easier for bloggers to attach small animations or videos, of any length, to their posts. A way of sort of merging Youtube vlogs with regular text blogs. A GIF or MP4 of the author could maybe make gestures/facial expressions at certain things on the page as you scroll down, and perhaps you could just have a static one waving in the background. Probably audioless as well.
I'm not sure my alternative would be very useful either, but I think it would be a little less "retarded".
