Awesome game, a bit too much cis-het stuff tho
It's kinda annoying everytime I want to talk with the female characters, they are all thirsty af and in an attempt to just decline their advances I just don't talk to them at all. It's good to have the vanilla options but maybe, just maybe, the world is more into inclusive stuff than the Internet seems to show. Just a thought.

But the issue in question isn't about what you believe is acceptable terminology. The issue is about what others feel is correct or incorrect or offensive terminology when using descriptors for others.

Right, so if they don't want that terminology to be used. It makes sense to not use the "other side" of the terminology. According to webster "A slur is a word or phrase that is intended to insult or disparage someone. A term that is neutral can become a slur over time, but our current evidence shows that cisgender and its variants are overwhelmingly used neutrally."

As such, simply don't say call people trans. People won't call you cis. Easy 'as

Not sure where that quote is from, but who is the governing body that determined the term 'cisgender' is an accepted term? It doesn't matter if it's considered 'neutral' in the sense that it currently does not have negativity in the roots of the word itself. What matters is the acceptance. What is correct is that such a term can become a slur over time.

Kinda? People can report it for "argumentative behavior" in which I've gotten banned for in the past. In that sense, it is fairly wibbly wobbly though I will admit. Basically, this is a report farm that was a like, 2/5ths chance of actually getting bans out?

It is extremely wobbly. So bringing up the TOS makes no sense.

I believe it makes sense as the TOS is the very loose basis steam uses for its moderation. Rather than a solid sheet of paper, its more like a thrice shredded paper. And then they pick up a random piece, look at it and see if that piece contains anything about something breaking the rules then decide to ban or not

lol so a socially constructed source. You know how many trendy and slang words can now be found in the dictionary? Dictionaries (such as these) don't determine acceptance. They just provide a definition as it's used in general society.

Its the only source I'm able to find thats not drowned by either quora articles or "ElOn mUSK" spam. However, the site is able to provide a definition as its used in general society, and its common usage.

Again, the answer is obvious. If you do not wish to be referred to as cis due to believing it to be a slur. Simply do not refer to people as transgender unless you are: Writing a paper, about to date a trans person, or are in a medical field and you need to know for important medical reasons (important as in to deal with medicines or anything you'd need to know for a different system. Typically don't need to worry about it for something about a broken leg, unless morphine counts I suppose?)

Oh yeah, because conceding, bowing and apologising to the far left always works out so well, they're so magnanimous in victory. I can't name a single person who ever apologised and bowed to the mob where they didn't just rush him and kick them while they're down. Give them any concession, and they will immediately demand more.

Even when they get exactly what they want or even more than they wanted, they just keep on fighting anyway. They wanted more African-Americans represented on screen (which was fair), they not only got it, but African-Americans ended up the most overrepresented demographic in both movies and on TV, and the far left didn't even notice and still just say "more".

If people stopped using trans, cishet would still be used as a slur.

If you're in the oppressor group being universally punched-up against, you don't get to complain about how you're referred to by the oppressed. You can try, but the rest of us are 100% justified in mocking you for it, and you will never, ever win the argument that you deserve to be respected while the others are denied the basic rights of existence.

love how these kinds of anti-straight anti-normal bash troll threads stick around but when I make posts that contain truth and sanity I get censored by the corrupt leftoid/uniparty big tech elite collusion agenda

Well that's because posts like these are parody posts that make fun of anti-lgbt posts rather than genuine anti-anything besides bigotry and troll behavior.

I doubt you can name a single person in the opposite category either, so what now.

Case in point. We're fair game because we're in the "oppressor group". This is what most of them really want to say, that they can say or do whatever they like to us, because we're not individuals, we're a powerful majority. And if we dare to fight back or even just defend ourselves, then they can break out the heavy artillery; racist, bigot, phobe etc.

Best way to deal with so called "socialism" is to avoid people altogether. It's way too complicated with them.

If you actually feel that way why the ♥♥♥♥ are you here

Yes. Glad we agree.

Well yeah, people are complicated as ♥♥♥♥. We're ran by overworked meat computers that are needing to evolve quicker than they should be (we went from being aware of our immediate area and potentially country, to being able to see war footage across the world in real time within less than 100 years)

What, as in a far left person apologising? When has that ever happened? The only people they ever apologise to is each other, at which point they get cannibalised.

1) White people are still the most predominantly represented actors in media, both behind and on the screen.

2) If by over-representation you mean by proportion to real life racial distribution, I don't really see the issue so long as its not coming at the cost of other ethnicity being represented.

Who is using cis as a slur? Its a scientific term.
