I really wish arknights didn't have a character who's named for an ethnic slur of my people

http://www.rsdb.org/slur/lapp

If you wouldn't use esk*mo, g*psy, or r*dskin, you shouldn't use l*pp.

Like. Why is this okay. Why do people support this.

It's also fucked up that this character is snow/cold themed and animal themed. Two things that Sámi people, and other arctic circle native groups, are typically racially stereotyped with. Sámi people are not animals and we are not "snow eaters".

Hey arknights fans can you not be in my replies telling me, a sámi person, how to feel about an ETHNIC SLUR being used as a fun character name? I know gacha games rot your brain but can you attempt one critical thought on this?

Actually I'm going to need non-indigenous people to reblog this. The only reason shit like this gets excused is because people don't know anything about sámi people. Begging people to listen to us and understand how painful it is to see hate speech treated like a fun character feature.

I thought her name is name after province in Sweden and a region in Finland

but not the slurs and she is not based on artic (she is based on newfoundland)

And She is live in Siracusa(or Italy)

There is more Operator name after Province Like Texas,Eyjafjalla(eyjafjallajökull) and Matterhorn (There is more but i think 3 is enough example)

Texas
ALT
Eyjafjalla
ALT
Matterhorn
ALT

And there are Sami operators and Terran(region)

Example Gitano (There is more but i don't have operators that's Sami more)

And Sami people get representation in Arknights 4 years Anniversary Link to the video If you really play arknights you will know arknights is less likely game that will be racist(let not forget that some operators that's based on some countries with get their english dub based on their countries accent too, example Penance and Typhon) I think they just throw random names to her like some other Operators (Example Operator Cement)

And where do you think the name Lapland for the geographic region where Sami live in comes from? HInt: Its named after the slur.

Actually this is actually have nothing to do with Arknights themself if you think Lappland name is slur then it is slur if you think her name is region then it is region

But if you think like that you should told people in Lapland to change their place name not the Arknights players/Yostar/Hypergraph (we can't do anything about that since Yostar named their operators after that place)

The region is named after the slur. The character is named after the region, which is named after the slur.

There is real movement ongoing to try and get the region to change its name to Sápmi instead of Lappland, for that exact reason, or at least trying to get people to use Sápmi instead as well as using the Sami names for areas in Sápmi, just as vales and hills instead of the colonial ones, especially since the colonial names very often contain the slur in question.

It is also rekommended by several Sami movement that news media use Sápmi instead of the colonial name.

thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

this is not a sad post!!!! this is a celebration!!!!! art is part of the human condition!!!!!!! we were born to create and share!!!!!!!!!!!

researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible

this one is my favourite. it's called a swordbreaker. it looks like a weaponised version of snagging your clothes on a door handle. if you caught my blade in one of these things there isn't a force on earth that could deliver you from my fury.

kinda obsessed with these, clearly beginner, rings on Etsy being marketed as garnet when i'd bet money that they are glass

the metal work is. certainly better than what i've ever made, so i don't want to speak to harshly. but uh. um.

My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it's completely free if you're in one of the "at risk" groups.

"What does that mean," he asks. "It's free if you're gay," he's told. "Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or...?" "Just put in a check mark here."

My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's officially gay. Congrats bro.

"Doctor, give it to me straight" "You sure, there's a fee" "… Give it to me gay"

Fascinated by the fact that his first question was about if he'd have to prove it. I wanna know how far that man would go to save less than a dollar

Sorry, do you think 87 euros is less than a dollar
