May as well call white a slur because, if my memory serves me correctly, people who aren't white almost always use it with a negative connotation describing "white-people" as doing something bad.

Idk, in relevant situations I have no problem calling myself cis. Just because a very small number of people are broadly hostile towards cis people doesn't make the word a slur. Cissy perhaps, but I still say meh to that because I just can't be bothered to be offended by it.

Agreed, but if Elon wants free speech he should allow the use of those slurs. Not that I think that wouldnt be chaotic, but Elon is being hypocritical here

I don't know what these words actually mean and I don't like them.

After how he got fucked by Twitter and himself during negotiations, I totally lost respect for this him. A clown with money.

He never claimed to be an absolutist. He never planned in allowing things like vioent threats, for example.

And he's right about those terms - they are used as slurs to shut down discussion. It's a quick and easy way to belittle someone and trivialize their argument.

No.

Anyway, how do I report a comment?
