Nah, its not a slur until the kids on xbox live start using it
But they won’t. Calling someone cis as an insult online doesnt have the same impact
- Teon ( @Teon@kbin.social ) 20•1 year ago
Using Cis when using voice will always be confused with Sis, as in sister. That’s gonna sound very interesting as a non-insult.
- Rose ( @StarlightRose@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 5•1 year ago
Yeah, my point exactly

I would love to know where that road leads.

“screw you, you were camping and I should have won that, cheater [long rant of slurs]” “Yeah well I bet you’re a cisgender. Cis. I bet you’re cis” “…what?”

Mr. “Free speech absolutist” over here. LMFAO

He is absolutely free to say whatever nonsense he wants. Isn’t that what free speech means? /s

No one is saying he can’t say those things. They’re saying he’s a jackass and a hypocrite for saying them.

Is this how a right-wing, white man comes out?
- Ignacio [he/him] ( @Ignacio@sopuli.xyz ) 30•1 year ago
In my country (Spain) there is an organization called “Centre for Sociological Research”, which in Spanish it’s called “Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas” (best known as CIS).
So, is that name also a slur, according to the free speech absolutist? What about politicians and journalists who talk about its surveys?
Elon is too busy being angry at trans people to see all this nuance you’re just throwing out there. You think he has time to consider what people are saying or that other people have thoughts and feelings?
- Ignacio [he/him] ( @Ignacio@sopuli.xyz ) 10•1 year ago
I think the free speech absolutist is full of bullshit, and there has to be ways to troll him, like redditors did with spez.

It’s better to avoid the platform and not be a denominator for ad buys. That’s the best way to get at him

Damn cisgenders, cissing around this damn thread. One tried to cis me out of my gender.
It’s okay for me to call myself cisgender, because I’ve reclaimed the slur <s>
- MrGreebles ( @MrGreebles@lemmy.one ) 24•1 year ago
I will never understand how the word cis or cisgender is a slur. If your a cisgender then you are literally a cisgender. I am a cisgender male, plane and simple

It’s a good thing free speech is legal on Twitter, huh, Elon?

Latin is hate speech :((((

I take pride in Elon Musk thinking my existence is a slur.

Oh my god that’s amazing thank you
- Phantome ( @Phantome@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
At press time, however, gamers began criticizing Musk after he reset the number of slurs by declaring that the n-word will no longer count as one.
Did this actually happen? I’m struggling to find a source - just seeing articles reporting an increase in the word’s usage on Twitter in the post-Musky era. Beyond wild if true.

As a gamer, I will forever pray for him when someone tries to steal my jungle only to return to lane.
