Nah, but really it's just a game. Keep it all in context with the game and you'll be OK.

You cannot clean a Minmatar's soul, they are damaged beyond repair and are filthy by instinct.

Faction War participants have been throwing out terms like "frog" and "squid" for years without incident.

I would caution you to not go overboard, of course.

What Abrazzar said. I have not read much of the lore, but if there is a derogotry name used for Minmatar listed within that would be kosher. If you start calling me nig***, it won't fly as that term is not in the lore.



It was actually a pretty good and necessary move by CCP to make all the skin colours available to all game races, even though it came a little late.
Before that, Brutor were as far as I remember the only really dark-skinned race, and it somehow felt terrible to be an ******* Amarrian racist against them.
Now, since we also have black Amarr (and they are amongst the prettiest avatars in the game IMHO), we can be 100% racist against those Minnies again without remorse. Twisted

edit:



Most definitely. I have RP'ed a Khanid/Burtor half breed that was the illigitmate son of a Khanid Royal's slave concubine, and loved the fact I could actually make a khanid character with dark skin.

Are those metal plates on your heads restricting your brain? Those are the poorest insults I have come across... by far. You guys aren't creative when it comes to ship design or insults.

At least the Caldari don't give voting rights to 3 headed defective clones with 5 arms. Or maybe you just look that way in your pic.

You used a clip from the utterly dreadful Judge Dredd, so I fixed it again with a clip from the much better Dredd.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I consider this heresy. It implies imperfection on God's part. Every soul is clean. They only need to learn the meaning of servitude so they become capable of serving God. It's the shell, the body and mind, that are impure.

I rarely RP, just started a little recently to make long freighter trips a little more bearable.
But what happened with the announcement that CCP would allow us to officially change bloodlines or make half breeds official?
The concept of Zimmy was also a Minnie/Amarr half breed who is deeply self-conscious about her Minmatar side and thus acts out even more racist than most "pure" Amarr....

Well I thought illiteracy was the reason it takes her so long to carve the names into those shells.....Straight

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Bathing in Amarrian blood twice daily is pretty cleansing...

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

Memorable for some terrible acting and Stallone removing the helmet (grrr)

The film itself is memorable for the cool custom Land Rover 101 FC's and taking a massive dump all over the much loved 2000AD character P

You got the cheesy bit right though.

Back on topic.

I guess if you restrict yourself to prejudice described in the lore and only apply it to the appropriate in game races, it would be hard to construct a real life case of racism out of it. Just avoid using terms deemed racist in real life.


Does the EULA make a distinction between RL racism and in game racism?
