Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs

[Eses Fafa]

Seekers: Webfoots

"I ain't interested in your advances, ya sick webfoot. Go find one of your fawnin' cousins to go at."

[Dat Oni]

Edgar tries not to get into racial slurs, which is difficult, as he comes from a place where you'd obviously expect everyone to swear like sailors. However, he has been known to break this code if pressured enough. He can be a bit creative.

 

Seekers: Hotbloods, Slit-eyes

 

Keepers: Wide-eyes, Snowskins

 

Roegadyn: Flatfaces

[Gargand]

From Dragon Age.

 

Elezen = Knife Ears

[Okichi]

My Xaela isn't particularly fond of Raen. She'll call them whitescales, even if she knows their name already.

She calls Miqo'te fuzz-ears, mostly due to not really knowing the actual name for them yet.

[Kurt S.]

After some IC stuff that's happened. Kat's got it into her head all Elezen are in some way 'Dhalmel F**kers' but tries not to address them as such. Keyword tries. But c'moooon those necks and limbs.

 

Then there was also that one time she called a certain seeker 'budget whore' and is one of her go to's when dealing with seekers in general.

[K'nahli]

These Seeker slurs depress me sooooo much.

 

(Crylander made me laugh but I cannot imagine anyone in the FF universe actually saying it, haha).

[Berrod Armstrong]

Berrod tries to hide his racism, so he doesn't slur as much as I'd like him to. However, he openly calls Garleans 'Eggheads' and refers to the Allag as 'Ancient Eggheads'.

Seekers: Webfoots

"I ain't interested in your advances, ya sick webfoot. Go find one of your fawnin' cousins to go at."

I admit, I don't really get this one. Do Seekers have webbed feet or something?

[K'nahli]

Dogs and seemingly cats have partially-webbed toes so I think it might be a reference to that(?)

 

(I mention dogs since they're the only ones I can comment on with certainty).

I thought the mention of cousins meant it was a birth defect from inbreeding.

Oh, I read them as two separate slurs, but you certainly could be right ^^

[Lilia Lia]

For Highlanders:

 

"Why don't you go back to Ala Mhigo?"

[111]

For Highlanders:

 

"Why don't you go back to Ala Mhigo?"

 

"GET A JOB."

[Oilbasedoleander]

Tatsu called Lala's turnipheads. Even if it isn't lore appropriate, I get a kick out of the slur and Tatsu has been punted in the shins by a tiny man before because of it.

[Olofantur]

Miqo'te/midlanders: "Half-heights"

lalafells: "Yalm-stick" "Stubs"

Wildwoods: "Hyur lovers"

Highlanders: "Rhalgr's step-children"

 

Quari tends to go for jabbing at what ever the person in question is lauding so I haven't cultivated many general ones.

[S'imba]

I have a keeper that refers to seeker's as hell cats. Though this comes more from the fact he spent his whole life how they live there and how they eat keeper children.

 

A few others though.

 

Lalafell: crotch inspectors

 

Roe: beef stew

 

Elezen: tree humper

[Sylentmana]

 

Lalafell: crotch inspectors

 

 

I about did a spit take on this one.

[Michikyou]

Elezen: Knife ears, All height and no substance. Cave dweller.

Miqo'te: Kitten, fuzzytits, fuzzball.

lalafell: Popoto (obviously), Mandagora overlord.

[Khadan]

On my Xaela I've jokingly referred to Raen Au Ra as "Pale Scale" before =P

[Desitjant]

Not sure if it's actually racist, or just size-ist...

 

... but my Dotharl Xaela once overheard someone in a tavern taunting their Lalafell friend a la: "best watch it around those big ones (Au Ra males), you're just small enough to eat..."

 

Ornlu has no intentions of eating a Lalafell (or people in general) but found the concept amusing enough that he will sometimes address one as "morsel" or "crumb".

 

 

Regrettably, I don't think there is a lore basis for "Falafel-l" =/

[111]

Dumbwight is a really good one.

[Kibu]

These are all golden and I'm not sure how I missed this thread before.

 

My kids tend to mostly be pretty chill about other races (or simply haven't had the opportunity to be racist in-game yet), but personally I'm fond of "knife-ears" for Elezen. I have a couple friends who refers to my Miqo'te as a "kit" or "catte", and while it bugged him at first it's started to sort of grow into a term of endearment. But when they poke fun by assigning him catlike traits (asking him if he purrs when he's happy, etc) he starts to get annoyed and fall into the usual "we aren't cats!" argument.

[Scaith]

lol a few of my faves so far

 

"Oy, fluffbutt!"

"Damn gurl, you horny or just happy to see me?"

"Oh goodie, someone to go up on me!"

"wow, death by snu snu for Roes!"

 

Obviously you can see I'm no good with these lol.

[Fheyla Haken]

Highwaycats use:

 

Hyur: pikes or blunts

Elezen: sharps

Lalafel: turnips

Au ra: skinks

Mi'qote: cats (duh)

Roegadyn: a very respectful "sir"

[Delilah Scythewood]

Fuzzbutt

I love Strawberry as a slur against Hellsguard

Whoreson is a classic for all

 

When my character Mhiago watches fights, she gets pretty excited. One of my favorites she's belted out thus far: "Hit him in the pube covered flesh cherries!"
