Never mind that Mark Twain deliberately put the n-word in his book because it was supposed to be commentary on racism. Never mind that Shakespeare was writing to entertain his audience in ways that were considered perfectly fine at the time.
I agree, I wouldn't support banning the series anywhere. Still, there's no reason for the word "retarded" to be tossed around like that except that the Cast women think that's how teenagers talk. And yes, I realize that there are people in real life who throw the word around, but we're also supposed to believe that deep down, these characters are accepting of others and intelligent people. -_- And it's not even like it's supposed to be a satire of the youth acting like that. Lord.
