    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.

        “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?”

        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
