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)

#it seems derived off a slur (could be an egg/chicken situation); but the smart asses and the fallacies sink the argument #they also say she's a wolf with ice powers cuz of racism instead of... the Arctic wildlife and the north being associated with ice and cold #tw drama #tw slur #cw slurs #the more I read the notes; the more it gets yuck 😬#“imagine X having one critical thought” 🤓 (X posted a extensive critic (which I disagree on some points))#anyway I'm blocking the smart asses I noticed there #like X quoted the wolf being one of the main animals there like I did here #nevermind the person going “people can't even read wikipedia for 10 minutes and get that info”#the wikipedia page doesn't mention slurs #they just say “northmost is the Sami people homeland”#tw disinformation #💡 slime's unoriginals
