    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.

      Right, don’t kill me for asking, but what’s wrong with libertarianism? Or who are the libertarian morons? Honest question.

        Selfish idiots who want to earn all advantages of society but don’t want to contribute anything. (Like Musk, who was a subsidy queen for years, but has suddenly discovered his love for a minimal state, or David Sacks, also a big fan of libertarianism, except when in dire need for a bailout from Silicon Valley Bank)

    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?

        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.
