This new girl at the end looks exactly like Ciel Phantomhive in drag that one time.
@Junpaku If the alternatives really mean the same thing this is intended to mean here, then shouldn't they also be offensive if it is? It's fairly hypocritical for everyone to get their panties in a twist about this particular word when its synonyms for the use here aren't nearly as offensive to anyone. Though most of the ones I can think of also have their roots in similar places, dumb could be considered derogatory towards mute people considering how we use it now too. Just sayin'.

@Glomoro Yes, all words that insult intelligence are derogatory at their root. I personally try my best not to use any of them but I wasn't going to go that hard on the translator. (Even though it's super easy in this particular case to not even use a term from the group.) A lot of those words have been softened from their blatant derogatory origin so it might not be obvious how bad they are to the uninformed.
But the r-word isn't historical. It was specifically crafted very recently to attack and is still in use as a word of attack.

@Junpaku The origin is still a technical term from an old timey medical standpoint that was twisted into an insult colloquially and then it fell out of standard use for its original context because of that. If the timing of the official use ending is the only difference, the outrage is probably a bit excessive from being too fresh in the mind as the only one like that. I think the real problem is probably that, it got left in a state of being both official and insulting slang for too long before the newer official alternatives were taking root everywhere they were supposed to.
Now, people who were invested in changing that ambiguous state are still battling its colloquial use, but in that state it's pretty much already in the same boat as dumb, moron, idiot, etc. At the other end of all that, the acceptable term just keeps swapping out because this is, and probably will always be, a repeating cycle. Things just aren't going to slide into that same "softened" state you mentioned, I guess. I think handicapped has come and gone, people are at least getting twitchy about disabled if it isn't already completely unacceptable? That's all that bothers me about this, if it has to be a problem for even one of them, then it should be for the others that share this origin story.

Some of us get it. If your spirit is shot, and you made a connection where "Spirit = Body", then your screwed either way in terms of projection. Deem yourself a bad person, and you'll start showing 'bad' stuff.
But her getting turned into a little girl because she used all that she had... priceless.
And in roams a Chunni.
