rrrrrr Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 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.
Carver Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 But, I enjoy sounding like an Orc from Lord of the Rings when I speak criminal.
Guest Menown Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 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'.
MagnificentMelkior Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 but ooga booga speak is real. https://translate.google.com/?oe=utf-8&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&client=tw-ob#auto/en/oog%20dooga%20boogi
Skull132 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I do agree that ooga booga is shitty for gutter, tbh. I'm in favour of changing it!
rrrrrr Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Well, then change it. You're the head developer, aren't you?
Owen Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 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.
Jboy2000000 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 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.
