Apparently an arknight character is named after a region name that is a slur and blame it on the devs for not looking it up (instead of blaming Sweden and Norway for not renaming the region)
I looked it up and there is no info about that region name being a slur; I get results on the region if I search "lappland".
I looked up "lappland slur", and found a post on r/arknight, slur dictionaries mentioning "laplander" and "lapp" to refer to Sami people, info on the character or the region, and that's it
and from what I get, she's Italian, not Sami, so it's really a gal calling herself after a region, and lappland is also a word in all three Sami tribes according to a commenter (OP "refuted" them by calling them a racist).
but yeah, "look it up when you create a character name" 🤓☝ (nevermind that it wasn't even created)
