Regarding the phrase "gelfs"

TheHypnotoad · 03-08-2010, 05:03 AM

"gelfs" or "gay elves" . For those who might not understand why this phrase may offend some people, let me put it into perspective. When going into war, and saying things like, "Lets kill the gelfs!" is like charging into war saying "Lets kill the belfs (black elves) or lets kill the jelfs (jewish elves). I don't understand why such discriminatory language is so widely accepted in the realms of Alsius and Ignis. Gay people (as hilarious as you might find it) do exist, and fight for realms too, and I do not think its too much to ask to be able to play the game without being used as an insult, or a joke at best.

Most of the homosexuals I know would probably use it more than anyone else.

So? Doe that make it right? I agree with OP and have for a long time. Every time I hear it used I say something. NGD, you should seriously consider making it a bannable offense, because it does look like you're just ok with homophobic behaviour. I know myself have reported people personally for it, but it goes unpunished. Shame on people for being so hateful in 2010.

So... you're an undercover homo patrol, aren't you? Otherwise you wouldn't be making a discrimination issue where there is none.

Gelf is the abbreviation from green elf, to distinguish from dark elfs that come from Ignis.
If someone is offended because someone wrote g in front of elf word, that's your problem.
Stop crying about such a absurdity.

I am crying? I was just explaining the person that got moved by the "gay" understanding that it's not offending :P
