Duplicate Keywords - List #44 (intellectual disability keywords) (Proposals for Permanent Merger and Auto-Conversion)
Here is the next installment of my lists of proposed keywords for permanent merger and auto-conversion.
I am posting this for fellow contributors to review first and raise any objections or questions. I will wait at least 14 days before changing this post to a "problem" post and asking IMDb staff to make the proposed changes.
As with my list of mental illness keywords, I am breaking my normal rule of only posting keywords or sets of keywords that are currently assigned to at least 50 titles. When it comes to permanent changes on a mass scale, I feel it's important to have uniformity and consistency across a set of related keywords as a whole, so I have included some keywords with less than 50 titles as an exception to my normal rule.
The mergers and auto-conversions should be made in the direction of the arrows.
Duplicate Keywords Proposed for Permanent Merging and Auto-Conversion
down's-syndrome (59 titles) --> down-syndrome (276 titles)
mentally-challenged-adult (3 titles) --> adult-with-an-intellectual-disability (10 titles)
mentally-challenged-boy (14 titles) --> intellectually-disabled-boy (3 titles) --> boy-with-an-intellectual-disability (3 titles)
mentally-challenged-brother (3 titles) --> brother-with-an-intellectual-disability (4 titles)
mentally-challenged-protagonist (9 titles) --> intellectually-disabled-protagonist (2 titles)
mentally-challenged-sidekick (65 titles) --> bumbling-sidekick (21 titles)
mentally-challenged-slur (5 titles) --> intellectual-disability-slur (22 titles)
mentally-challenged-teenager (3 titles) --> teenager-with-an-intellectual-disability (1 title)
mentally-retarded (10 titles) --> mental-retardation (304 titles) --> retardation (28 titles) --> mentally-challenged (89 titles) --> intellectually-disabled (9 titles) --> intellectual-disability (110 titles)
mentally-retarded-daughter (3 titles) --> mentally-challenged-daughter (8 titles) --> daughter-with-an-intellectual-disability (2 titles)
mentally-retarded-man (3 titles) --> retarded-man (8 titles) --> mentally-impaired-person (4 titles) --> mentally-challenged-man (84 titles) --> intellectually-disabled-man (11 titles) --> man-with-an-intellectual-disability (12 titles)
mentally-retarded-person (13 titles) --> mentally-challenged-person (54 titles) --> mentally-impaired-person (4 titles) --> intellectually-disabled-person (18 titles) --> person-with-an-intellectual-disability (36 titles)
mentally-retarded-son (10 titles) --> mentally-challenged-son (6 titles) --> son-with-an-intellectual-disability (4 titles)
pretending-to-be-intellectually-disabled (1 title) --> pretending-to-be-mentally-challenged (4 titles) --> faking-an-intellectual-disability (5 titles)
retarded-child (20 titles) --> mentally-challenged-child (6 titles) --> intellectually-disabled-child (4 titles) --> child-with-an-intellectual-disability (3 titles)
retarded-rape (12 titles) --> rape-of-an-intellectually-disabled-person (3 titles)
retarded-woman (7 titles) --> mentally-challenged-woman (17 titles) --> intellectually-disabled-woman (6 titles) --> woman-with-an-intellectual-disability (4 titles)
simple-minded (22 titles) --> simple-mindedness (3 titles)
simpleton (101 titles) --> simple-minded-person (10 titles)

Glad to see these reprehensible keywords being adjusted to what the "community" prefers, (finally), although, personally, I still prefer the "-challenged" addendum, because, (let's admit it), it is "nicer" and "kinder."
Even worse are the "wheelchair-bound" (and similar) keywords. For years, I have suggested the preference for keywords like "man-uses-a-wheelchair" over "man-in-a-wheelcair" or "man-with-a-wheelchair." (Cane, crutches, walker, etc.). Perhaps they could be included here, or be a part of a separate list.

I'm not sure "mentally challenged" and "bumbling" mean quite the same thing?

IF "wheelchair-bound-man" means that he is literally attached to a wheelchair (which should probably be "man-tied-to-a-wheelchair," "man-chained-to-a-wheelchair," "man-taped-to-a-wheelhair," etc.), then I can understand the suggestion. However a "man-who-uses-a-wheelchair" may not be "bound" to it IF his is lifted and moved by another, perhaps to a bed, to a chair, to be bathed, etc.
There must be some sci-fi or horror title where a man and the wheelchair are literally ONE mechanical/moving entity, but I can't think of it.
I also agree that "bumbling" and "mentally-challenged" are two different things. Is there a human being alive, of whatever mental state, who has never "bumbled," "hesitated," "stuttered," "stammered," etc.?

Now that the 14-day comment period on this keyword list has ended, I have converted this post to a "problem" post, and it is ready for action by IMDb staff. I will copy and paste the list below with the numbers of titles removed to facilitate the mass mergers and auto-conversions.
