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

Using Cis when using voice will always be confused with Sis, as in sister. That's gonna sound very interesting as a non-insult.
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?"
That's great grandma, now let's get you to the bottom of the ocean. (sadly not original content)
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

Is this how a right-wing, white man comes out?
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?
I think the free speech absolutist is full of bullshit, and there has to be ways to troll him, like redditors did with spez.

“Would you pass me the oar, cisgender Jim?”
This made me lol. Thank you for my first morning laugh.
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
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?
Highly recommend checking the full article too, it's fantastic!

Oh my god that’s amazing thank you
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.
I take pride in Elon Musk thinking my existence is a slur.
sweet, now I have a slur for my dad when he calls me a faggot
congrats elon on coming out 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
As a gamer, I will forever pray for him when someone tries to steal my jungle only to return to lane.
I see nothing wrong with that
He never claimed to be an absolutist. He never planned in allowing things like vioent threats, for example.
And he's right about those terms - they are used as slurs to shut down discussion. It's a quick and easy way to belittle someone and trivialize their argument.
He never claimed to be an absolutist.
Here he is making that exact claim in 2022 before deleting it once it became inconvenient
blue check is a slur 😤
No.
Anyway, how do I report a comment?
If he didn't plan for things like violent threats then he is woefully unfit to own one of the largest social media sites in history.
And I've never seen someone belittled by being called cisgender. I'm cisgender. It's only a slur if you think Trans is also a slur.
