Regarding the phrase "gelfs"

"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.
