Can we please not make fun of the mentally disabled by using terms like "derp" and "durr"? It's really offensive to anyone who has mental disabilities or who has a friend or family member who has them. Also, just because someone has a mental disability doesn't mean they're bad at this game. Such a mentality is very toxic and discriminatory towards those people.



It's not a job but I wonder if SE knew what they were doing when they named the new afk end zone place.
Idyllshire = Idle-shire



I honestly wouldn't doubt that this name was on purpose, especially if it's named differently in the original, and changed to this by the English localization team, since we know they're in love with puns, references, and names with duel meanings, (and let's be honest, most of us are just as fond of them)......
As for you OP, your names are just terrible, and not funny in the least. While I dislike the "LOLdrg" nickname simply because it's an insult to the class, at least it has a little bit of creativity put into it, and is meant as much as a joke rather than a pure insult. You're names however have a connotation to them that only holds contempt for the person, rather than the "that was so bad it's funny" that names such as LOLdrg have.....
Can't forget those new up and rising Bard-Tards


Strange, because when I see the words derp and durr, I dont even see "mentally challenged". Alot of mentally challenged people are actually alot more intelligent than you think. It actually has NOTHING to do with it.Can we please not make fun of the mentally disabled by using terms like "derp" and "durr"?

Think you need to relax a bit. Alot of us do it in a friendly manner to our online friends and than theres asshats.
Oh come on, it's not like that was named to those people.Can we please not make fun of the mentally disabled by using terms like "derp" and "durr"?

An insult is only an insult when taken as such so unless you are on those people (and i am sorry if you are) you really shouldn't speak for them.

Warrior = Meat Shield
Ninja = Lol-nin
Scholar = Other-Smmoner (because they all keep saying "I'm not a White Mage" when I call them that.)
Astrologian = Other Healer (because they all keep saying "I'm not a White Mage" when I call them that.)
White mage = Healer
Bard = Bow mage
Dragoon = Lolgoon (when they keep dying or don't try to do positioning)
Monk = Derpy (when they can do rotations but struggle on positioning or vice-versa)
Dark Knight - Paladodge (because parry wont save you)

Then you don't know where those terms originated. And I KNOW that they're more intelligent than people think. That's part of my POINT. But my main point is that these terms originated in reference to making fun of those with mental disabilities and should not be used.Strange, because when I see the words derp and durr, I dont even see "mentally challenged".

Except that an insult can be used to perpetuate stereotypes and other things harmful to a population. And yes, I have a right to speak for those with mental disabilities. Or at least the right as you define it. Though I think that everyone has the "right" to speak up against harmful acts against populations. And yes, making fun of the disabled by using these terms is harmful.
