Discrimination in FC rank names.

This was brought to my attention when I was messing around with the rank names in my FC and as I was messing with the ranks I found a clear case of racism that will not stand. First I changed the rank names to each race below:

No issues here. Mi'qote is fine.

Once again, no issues, Au'Ra is fine.

Hyur is also fine.

Roegadyn? Roega-done.

Lalafell? All is well.

However! When you try to enter Elezen, which as we all know, is the best race in the entire game and if you disagree with my subjective opinion you are wrong factually, you get this:

I, as the King of all Elezen™, believe that this is unfair and should be changed. Either every race name should be alright or none of them should be alright. Elezen should not be considered a "forbidden word," it should be heralded as the greatest word in human history. Even above that of "nap" and "pizza."

Well, for starters Miqo'te and Au ra are misspelled.

i see the problem you spelled it wrong it should look like this *giraffe*

My point still stands! Both of those names work just fine.

Its probably not "Elezen" thats the problem but only part of it - best guess on my part would be "lez" - thats the "forbidden word".
The games filter for such language can work in funny ways... I remember reading about an incident where someone wanted to change their name after getting married. Their firstname ended in "an" and the first letters of the new second name would have been "al". They couldnt change their name because of that...

Try it with an "s" instead of the "z"? Since Au'Ra is already missspelled... what does it matter here? ;P

The "Bastard" part of bastard sword gets filtered out a lot too lol.

Yeah I already figured that out from the get go and I can understand if someone tries to work around the filter to get around it. But my point, again, is that all of the race names should work.

Because I want to use "Elezen" in my rank names. T.T

I guess it's just some kind of weird filter.

I remember when I was playing Tera there were monster called "kuma" or something and whenever you wanted to use the word it was censured (I believe it was because of kum).

But I don't see anything like that in Elezen so it's strange.

Why would you name an FC rank after a race anyway?

Dear SE

I could just inform you like a perfectly reasonable individual that you got a bug in your fc rank labeling system but instead I find it more appealing if I use something clickbaity.

Chinchilla was a censored word in Tera and I still don't know why. I remember finding out because I was typing that a chinchilla tail would be cute.

Well, there's an entry on urbandictionary...

do you know how you stop discrimination in FCs? stop naming ranks after races.

Why do you need more than 2 ranks in your FC, if it's just you and your imaginary waifu anyway?
It's not as if anyone would be willing to join an FC where they are forced to assume the rank titles of "Lalafell" or "Elezen". Just name the ranks "Lesser Footstool" and "Swipe Left".

Honestly OP made me smile, but that is a hilarious misstep if the official race names are filtered out.

Lez is the likely culprit, but how about Wildwood for one rank and Duskwight for another?

Honestly, that seems more “racist” than the fact that “Elezen” cannot be used as a rank name.

In other news, nice clickbait.

Got a sensible chuckle out of me.
