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?"
How can it even be a slur? I don't get it. People may use gay or trans or as an insult. But that doesn't make it a slur right. So how this word can?
It can't and that's the joke here
Kids on xbox live are known to throw around slurs to win arguments, especially in cod. Sorry to have confused ya
You're right to be confused, Elon's post is very silly on many levels, one of which being that considering a word to be mean doesn't make it a slur.
"You are a cheater and I had sex with your cis mother"
Nah, it lacks punch.
That's great grandma, now let's get you to the bottom of the ocean. (sadly not original content)
Is this how a right-wing, white man comes out?
Maybe he comes out as waste of human skin.
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
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?
Silencing the speech of a bunch of sociologists is probably a bonus for him
And what about the Confederacy of Independent Systems from Star Wars???
The best way around this conundrum is to recognise that elon is an idiot and just ignore anything he says or does.
We need to come up with a slur for billionaires...
Billionaire is already a slur.
No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.
I just call them oligarchs, which already has a negative connotation
And also is completely accurate. Mainstream media, mainstream politicians and others who are members of the big club want you to think that only Eastern Europe and parts of Asia (not the parts they have lucrative business with) are mostly controlled by a few rich people.
The reality is that the US has more than a third of the world's billionaires in spite of having only 5% of the population and those billionaires and the rest of the. 1% ABSOLUTELY are oligarchs that control the country much more than any elected officials.
Parasites?
Leeches, vampires, parasites, oligarchs, scourges of the Earth, pure evil...
"rich fuckface"
There is one and you just used it
“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.
Reported for extreme prejudice /s
It's okay for me to call myself cisgender, because I've reclaimed the slur <s>
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
They consider themselves the "default" aka the only ones who are not "the others" and thus not wrong about everything up to and including existing.
They are also snowflakes who can't cope with their bigoted worldview being questioned in any way without playing the innocent martyr, so anything that implies that their perspective isn't the only legitimate one is considered viciously evil.
Cimple as
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
It's a good thing free speech is legal on Twitter, huh, Elon?
Highly recommend checking the full article too, it's fantastic!
https://hard-drive.net/hd/video-games/huge-news-for-gamers-elon-musk-has-invented-a-new-slur/
Oh my god that’s amazing thank you
What a fucking moron
Big words coming from the wing nut who fucked over his “platform”.
No, it's not free speech until we're entirely unable to avoid hearing it,
webots stop trying to suppress his speech by calling him an elongated muskrat, and he freely demands payment to be seen by our own subscribersSomeone here doesn't understand free speech... But only he has a billion dollars, and here in America, our courts discovered that money is actually free speech
cissy
congrats elon on coming out 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Elon is a fuck nugget.
When I first saw this tweet days ago I thought it was a fake tweet. Just realized it was real.
Why is this asshole in charge of getting himself dressed in the morning? Not because he's incompetent (he is), but because he's clearly malevolent.
This dude is a real fuckin tool.
Poor Lord Farq-I mean Elon.
Quit being such a cissy
Shut up cis cheese
I hate that he can just force himself to be relevant. He's so fucking stupid.
After how he got fucked by Twitter and himself during negotiations, I totally lost respect for this him. A clown with money.
As a gamer, I will forever pray for him when someone tries to steal my jungle only to return to lane.
What a cissy
I see nothing wrong with that
I feel like cis was just a new word to replace people talking about non-lgbt people as "normal". So not really a slur, just a word that makes it more polite to talk about people without putting others down
Elon Musk is the most innovative human being alive
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.
The only people who think cis is a slur are the ones who use trans as a slur.
They think any descriptor but "normal" is a slur because anyone who isn't cis, hetero, and white is seen as lesser by them.
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?
