minus-squaredrunkpostdisaster@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoI have never heard cis being used as a slur.
minus-squareforeverandaday@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoIt’s impossible to use it as a slur, as cis people are not oppressed.
minus-squareVoyajer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoA slur is any word that is used to insult someone based on their immutable characteristics (race, gender, sexuality, religion, ableness, etc.). There is NO requirement of oppression.
minus-squarer3d0c@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoExtremely shallow analysis, certain words have a much different history than others and theres a lot of bad faith implications going on herea Would you say cracker and the nword are on the same level?
minus-squareVoyajer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoInteresting abuse of the relative privation fallacy E: oh, it’s a burner account.
minus-squareObliviousEnlightenment@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years ago“Plus power” is not how cooquial definitions work. Speak colloquial if you want go talk to normies
minus-squareel_abuelo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoThat sounds sensible on first thought…but it’s easy to find slurs that are for non-oppressed people’s. The French, for example.
minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoIt’s not sensible in any way, you can have slurs for anyone. Someone not being oppressed doesn’t make them suddenly incapable of being oppressed or held down.
minus-squareSoulg@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoAny word said with enough hatred is a slur Of course that being said I’ve never ever heard cis used like that either
minus-squareweker01@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoI actually have. Mind I don’t have a problem with the word in particular but I’ve read it used as a slur on the Internet and in real life. It’s all about intention imo. Many people use it just to clearly communicate but some also use it with hatred.
minus-squarer3d0c@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoLol sure bud, def not a weird concocted scenario
minus-squaretwelve20two @slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoThe only time I’ve seen it as an insult was on Tumblr. And then the phrase, “cisgender shitlord,” was eventually added to the meme pile, too
minus-squareweker01@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoIt is not. There are many queer people that were wronged by society. It is understandable why they would have hatred in their hearts. But I guess I’m just a liar on the Internet. Have a nice one.

minus-squareKittyCat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoProbably X-Men judging by the use of the term mutant.
minus-squarebeebarfbadger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoMaybe it’s just factually inaccurate and he doesn’t want there to be anyone mistaking him as cissexual.
minus-squareirreticent@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoSome people are just looking for something to be upset about.
