no - Dimwits have always been fine: the word "Idiot" is used by people to offensively list characters they claim are "stupid" or those with actual (or percieved) mental disabilities (for example Derpy Whooves etc).

Dimwits is the acceptable term, as it is less able to be abused than Idiot and sounds better - Dimwit is the archetype of an individual who is not too bright but still lovable (Goofy) or played for laughs (Peter Griffin).. I don't object to Dimwits category, only "Idiots" and "Retarded" - sometimes it is how something is worded that makes all the difference.
