make gutter not incredibly racist

[rrrrrr]

gutter is ooga booga speak. everyone i have talked to about it agrees that it is racist ooga booga speak. change it to this.

 

/datum/language/gutter
name = "Gutter"
desc = "A crude pidgin of several Slavic languages and Cantonese that serves as Tradeband for criminal elements."
speech_verb = "growls"
colour = "rough"
key = "3"
syllables = list ("slo","nik","ko","zels","het","zlo","nis","iv","da","ati","yib","ban","dup","sha","ansh","nou","nec","zby", "ci")

 

Does it make sense? Probably not. Far better than ooga booga looga, though, I think.

But, I enjoy sounding like an Orc from Lord of the Rings when I speak criminal.

Just make Gutterband into a rip-off of Huttese.

Before the translation thing, I always assumed Gutter was just gutteral growling. Hence why it was a pun of gutter, being from the gut, while also being spoken by those that would be considered, 'in the gutter'.

I do agree that ooga booga is shitty for gutter, tbh. I'm in favour of changing it!

Well, then change it. You're the head developer, aren't you?

I am thinking that Skull is waiting for other people's opinions on the matter.

I don't really see how it's racist, but sure, go ahead and change it if you want.

Or make it so it's the default language for any human character with a high enough skin colour value.
