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@kbin.social 25 points 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.

I would be very interested in a plot graph mapping out the number of instances of transphobic rhetoric coming from Elon from before and after Grimes left him for Chelsea Manning.

[-] EnbyJesus@slrpnk.net 50 points 1 year ago

Or his trans daughter changing her last name and basically telling him to go to hell.

[-] EnbyJesus@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 year ago

Or his trans daughter changing her last name and disowning him. How shitty of a dad do you have to be for your kid to turn down that kind of inheritance?

IIRC he actually did twat some vaguely transphobic things soon after that.

Is this how a right-wing, white man comes out?

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe he comes out as waste of human skin.

[-] albert180@feddit.de 43 points 1 year ago

He has some similarities to the libertarian morons

[-] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

I think he just is one

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@sopuli.xyz 11 points 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.

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 year ago

Latin is hate speech :((((

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

[-] mordred@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

What a fucking moron

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Big words coming from the wing nut who fucked over his “platform”.

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.

[-] Killerqu00@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago

congrats elon on coming out 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

[-] sirtwinklebottom@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Elon is a fuck nugget.

[-] Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

This dude is a real fuckin tool.

Poor Lord Farq-I mean Elon.
