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?
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.
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
