Growing up r***** was a pretty common phrase, that’s definitely something some millenials have had problems removing from their vocabulary.
I also don’t think our social comprehension of gender has finished evolving yet. So everyone alive to read this comment will eventually have to revise their understanding and look back on their cringy previous views.
Ohhhhh I thought you meant the phrase was “growing up r*****”. Took me five minutes to figure out what you meant. It’s just the one word, not the whole phrase. 😆
For anyone else confused like me, it’s the pejorative word for a person with a mental disability.
Promoted from your desire to censor yourself, kids won’t understand and be exasperated by my refusal to censor myself online so some website/content creator can more easily make ad money.
And no, fuck that noise, I will not bow the fucking algorithm. I will curse and speak freely.
Ideas never finish evolving, and in a grand sense nothing finishes evolving, unless you consider extinction to be the conclusion of an evolution. Nature goes on, the universe continues, there is no end point where things have reached a perfect evolution.

Thanks for the explanation because I was confused too. Good example of why commas matter.
I thought they meant “growing up r” as well. First my brain supplied me with “growing up rich”.
If only I had scrolled, you woulda saved me the same time. 🤣
Are we censoring the word racist now? We can’t call it what it is?
Growing up r what ? I don’t understand

I like how the punctuation failures totally change the assumed meaning of the sentence.
