I 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.

2 33 ReplyIt 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.
29 0 ReplyThe 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

3 14 ReplyIt's impossible to use it as a slur, as cis people are not oppressed.
9 58 ReplyA 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.
36 1 ReplyExtremely 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?

That sounds sensible on first thought...but it's easy to find slurs that are for non-oppressed people's.
The French, for example.
36 1 ReplyIt’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.

Any word said with enough hatred is a slur
Of course that being said I've never ever heard cis used like that either
