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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe he comes out as waste of human skin.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (24 children)

He has some similarities to the libertarian morons

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I think he just is one

We need to come up with a slur for billionaires...

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Billionaire is already a slur.

No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just call them oligarchs, which already has a negative connotation

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 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

[–] [email protected] 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.

What a fucking moron

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

No, it's not free speech until we're entirely unable to avoid hearing it, ~~we~~ bots stop trying to suppress his speech by calling him an elongated muskrat, and he freely demands payment to be seen by our own subscribers

Someone 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

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Elon is a fuck nugget.
