Discrimination in FC rank names.

[Khalithar]

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.

[Khalithar]

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

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

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

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

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

[Sesera]

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?

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

In other news, nice clickbait.
