I get the concept behind making this a slur, but I don't think the word is that big of a deal personally, being the brother of a mentally challenged man myself.
If it is used in a sneering way to address someone who is mentally challenged, I get it, but otherwise I think this is on the other side of "gamer talk" that is somewhat more appropriate.

Fair enough; it varies from people to people. Like I said, I just am not really a fan of the word but if nothing changes, I'm not going to get all pissed off about it. There are bigger problems in my life than if someone online says it or not; just wanted to pitch my opinion.

This is a valid point too; I get it. The problem is that we are not agreeing on whether or not it's a slur. In education it 100% is one but this is not an educational setting, it's Garry's Mod. The only time it's a slur is if it's used sneering towards someone with an intellectual disability. The problem is that we have no idea who does or doesn't have an ID when we're playing online, and that's why I felt the need to make a suggestion. I was also informed that this was an identical thread made almost exactly a year ago by Jesse so I found that a little humorous/interesting. 

I appreciate those of you who are giving honest feedback instead of just shitposting on this, I appreciate your respect.
