Or is this the exception? A sinister side to the lovable amphibians! We ran across this charming … fellow? gal? … in Malchor’s Leap.

(And yes, I realize this is almost certainly a really unfortunate typo.)

Sorry, but I’m missing something. That doesn’t seem racist to me…?

it seems that ‘kitten’ is a derogatory tern to describe Koreans… Though I’ve honestly never heard it, ever.

Edit: lol yeah kitten, yeah.

Hickeroar, It’s the word that starts with a “g” and ends with an “ook.” It’s a real life slur. I’m not quite sure what they were trying to type that ended up as that word, though.

It’s even “kittened” out here on the forums apparently, as Yata found out, lol.

Im not sure of the lingo of the area around where the devs live. The word may not be known to have that meaning there. Ive been shocked how different certain words are treated just a state away where I live.

Regardless quaggan are generally pretty honest in who they like and dont like and pretty lame in their insults. I mean ‘Foo bears’? They tend to like people who treat quaggan well and hate those who dont. The can be suspicious but rarely racist.

Id say the real flaw the quaggans have is that they often have too much of a victim mentality. They dont fight back often enough and just want to run away or be saved. Im really impressed how much depth the ‘lesser’ races have. So much of quaggan society is directly tied to there evolutionary defense mechanism that makes them ‘hulk’. As a result they shy from fighting and by virtue of that havent developed well to defend themselves by force making them pretty easy targets.

Considering that ANet is owned by NCSoft, a Korean company, this is, in its way, actually quite funny.

It’s probable that it wasn’t perceived to target any particular group or race. I read it and just thought that meant “jerks” or some-such.

Whoa, I totally read that as ‘goons’ when I came by her.

ArenaNet may want to change that…
