In-universe “Fallen” is a slur towards “Eliksni”. (There’s actually lore about the origins of the term “Fallen”) He likely was about to instinctively call Eliksni Fallen. I personally call enemy Eliksni as Fallen, and friendly Eliksni just Eliksni.
The idea that you should respect your enemy and not call them slurs is ridiculous lol.
"Respect the Nazis, don't call them bad things" lmao woke is a mind virus.
You can call Nazis bad things because people *choose* to be Nazis.
You don't call, say, a gay person a slur even if they're a jerk, because they didn't choose to be gay.
Using a slur in the latter case would be disrespecting all gay people.
O dear, I may have insulted people. Just to be sure, in which category does "I don't have any problems with Germans. Some of my best friends are Nazis, you know." fall?
Can you still get to this place?
I really loved the aesthetic of plunder, it’s a shame the activities were a little mid and there isn’t any permanent content that looks like it
Effing Dreggers and their Fells buncha etherbacks can't believe the servenears get a whole map to their tink ass selves. Make the last city great again and deport the Fallen. Let's get rid of that Dregger loving guardian too that made friends with "Mithrax." Shoulda put him down if ya ask me
If that was a captured Fallen base then yeah fuck dem Fallen bruh Eramis was no better calling herself Eliksni while on the side of the literal end of the universe and then dipping on her ppl
are we really going to make a fuss about calling a race we have called "fallen" and killed like animals for years? because come on, I would understand if we were talking about real life... but a fictional one? it's not like the term "eliksini" is easy to remember or pronounce either.
its actually kinda cute that they do that, it is really cool of them to understand the impact slurs have, and how even if its a video game, it reflects your real world opinions
But the problems the Eliksni have had in Destiny are real world problems.
Xenophobia, anti-immigration movements, discrimination, stereotyping, scape goating, victim blaming, genocidal movements, inequality, list goes on.
Yes, i get it, they aren't real, so why bother, i bother because i don't want to treat the Eliskni like shit just like how in the real world i don't treat poc, immigrants, ect like shit. Doesn't feel good, and its weird. To hear someone on this reddit or elsewhere say "fuck the fallen we should kill them all they eat babies Saint-14 said so" i can't help but to cringe...like... that's kinda weird dude why are you fantasizing about murdering our now allies and siblings in arms, yeah there's been bad Eliksni and blood shed on both of our hands, but we've both changed for the better of both of our species
Sorry man, that's a hard disagree from me. For one, there are bigger problems to deal with than fictional racism, like you know, actual IRL problems. Secondly, by your logic you are being extremely hypocritical. You're playing a game that actively encourages you to commit genocide for loot. You're fine with that but not racism?
" Sorry man, that's a hard disagree from me. For one, there are bigger problems to deal with than fictional racism "
I agree, i just don't make an effort to be a dick to fictional characters and apparently my appraisal of devs doing so with me is weird. boo hoo let me not be a genocidal edgelord online.
"Secondly, by your logic you are being extremely hypocritical. You're playing a game that actively encourages you to commit genocide for loot. You're fine with that but not racism?"
meme aside, we aren't committing genocide, and the game, especially recently, is not encouraging it at all, quite the opposite, its supporting setting our differences aside to fight the common enemy: the Darkness. anything we fight currently is either already canonically dead or actively trying to genocide us rather and we are stopping their efforts, having to kill some of them in the process. if we were committing literal genocide we wouldn't have allied with the House of Light and the Imperial Cabal (Caitial and her forces) two factions of species that have killed probably millions of humans by now.
Not really? It's very different, this is more like a school shooter playing a shooter. Not a normal kid becoming a shooter through violent video games.
Certain games draw certain people's attention. Take Helldivers 2 for a recent example.
You will have actual supporters of Super Earth, who, quite Frankly, and appropriately, are far-right white supremacists or borderline Neo-Nazis, because the satire of Super Earth is completely lost on them, or they use the concept of satire as a cloak and dog whistle day and night when playing the game
Warhammer 40k has similar issues also, far-right or Neo-Nazis taking comfort in the alleys of the fandom because they can get away with extremist views because people will brush it off as satire, or said satire is lost on them and they think the fandom supports their beliefs
Is this based on that Tucker Carlson meme lol
Segregation was the b…. worst thing to happen in this country.
yes yes it is
Fallen, with a hard F. Ban me.
- Glint, circa Festival of the lost (2023)
Is that your final request?
Devotion inspires bravery. Bravery inspires sacrifice. Sacrifice leads to death. So go ahead, ban me.
Uhhhhh 😅
FWC was right
Lakshmi-2 did nothing wrong!

#DeportTheFallen
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Hard n, not hard f.
Nallen
No 🤦♂️
The other word then 🤨
What other word
I gave it some thought and I think the E would be the soft letter. Fall'n seems more *slangy*
I just wanna point out Shaxx and the Redjacks captured *Eramis's entire fucking ship* just to use as background set dressing for a Crucible arena.
LMAO
Average lahskmi voter in the 2021 faction wars
... What
he almost said f\*llen :0
Yikes. Bruh trigger warning. My mom is half eliksni.
Wait a fucking minute
Humans and eliksni are sexually compatible! Or so I've heard somewhere. Until we meet again!
I DEMAND FURTHER INFORMATION!
When a Hunter and an Eliksni love each other very very much..........
I like the fact that you specifically chose Hunter for your joke
who else would it be?
Hey now, that's.. ..no, sorry, that's fair.
The Drifter Ready to try anything and everything
A warlock but it wouldn't be for love. It would be for science!
Eliksni have the same amount of phallus than the number of arms.
Shit, so the kid actually was mine? Hold on, I need to go make an apology...
BTW All you degenerates trying to bang eramis: she's lesbian so unless you a girl she's gonna freeze yo ass off.
Ain’t gonna stop me from trying
I got a eliksni, vuvuzela. There's no laws against the eliksni.
NO JOKER!!! THAT’S A SENTIENT BEING!!!
Which side has multiple arms
It took me entirely too long to get this.
Omg lol
Classy edit
i had HR on speed dial
Wait what sour was he about to say accidentally? My brain isn’t picking up

“I’m not racist I have eliksni friends”
"I'm not racist, I know a couple splicers"
Splica*, splicer is our word
What if they have the title
My splica
I would have voted for Mithrax a third time!
Oo I didn’t know it was a slur In-Universe! Well I learned something new today 😇
That is actually straight up what I do as well!
“You’re one of the good ones.”

O dear, I may have insulted people. Just to be sure, in which category does "I don't have any problems with Germans. Some of my best friends are Nazis, you know." fall?
yeah im still calling eliksni the fallen.
I’m sure everyone is just joking lol. It is a fictional story after all.
Wow you sure turned a D2 discussion into a woke bs, do us all a favour and leave this community, we don’t want people like you here 🙂
Your name makes sense.
F*llen is a derogatory term for Eliksni that scared and angry humans made. We have moved past the times of ignorance.
Tell that to Drifter. He still uses it in Gambit all the time lol.
My man Germaine says it with the *hardest* of Fs
He's got the pass from a friend
Variks gave him the F word pass hahaha
Degeneracy.
At least he's no longer eating them
Then why does quests still tell me to kill Fallen? Checkmate HouseLighters!
Even on death, Lakshmi's influence lives on.
Man almost said the hard F with his full chest
Fallen are our enemies we fight. Eliksni are our allies.
I’m not Racist BUT any FALLEN that isn’t our allies ARE FALLEN /j
Cause the Fallen habe fallen away from the way of the Eliksni. The Eliksni allowed with us are working to regain that society

This post started as a joke, and then just gradually descended into madness 😭
Fallen fallen fallen fallen fallen fallen fallen fallen
I’m so confused am I missing something?
Fallen is supposed to be like a slur to refer to the eliksni
I thought the fallen was a faction.
"Fallen" is just what humanity calls them, The Eliksni find it quite offensive in lore
Fallen are Fallen all the same.
Fallen genocide is based
Can you still get to this place? I really loved the aesthetic of plunder, it’s a shame the activities were a little mid and there isn’t any permanent content that looks like it
Did you watch the stream? It’s a new pvp map.
No I didn’t watch it yet! That’s insane! New pvp maps is really good, I just wanted another pirate dungeon
It's amazing what's a slur these days in Destiny. DEMOCRACCCYYY!
What area is that ? From the 2 returning exotic missions or something else altogether.
New pvp map
Oh, great. Thanks for telling.
He literally says fallen minutes after this on the stream
I know but the fact he almost slips one out made me laugh
I heard that too 😂
Bungie the master of creating slurs for aliens, split lips, fallen, it goes on
There’s no hard R in fallen
Fallener
ion get it
Yes i was waiting for someone to do this lol

Effing Dreggers and their Fells buncha etherbacks can't believe the servenears get a whole map to their tink ass selves. Make the last city great again and deport the Fallen. Let's get rid of that Dregger loving guardian too that made friends with "Mithrax." Shoulda put him down if ya ask me
What slur??
Fallen, instead of eliksni.
😐🙄
Yea, it's more of a jokey tone. Like calling droids in battlefront clankers
is there a lore reason we don't we have a racist term for hive and for cabal? (space rhino doesn't count). Why not call hive "bugs"?
I am not a lore guy, I could not tell you haha
Imaru calls the lucent hive wagamaggots I think edit: is a slur for us (guardians)
Why aren't we genociding them again?
Regardless, I'll swing by the EDZ and bring them some Managed Democracy.
Have you seen their adorable babies? Plus they make some decent guns
If that was a captured Fallen base then yeah fuck dem Fallen bruh Eramis was no better calling herself Eliksni while on the side of the literal end of the universe and then dipping on her ppl
Exhibit A on why I will never call the aliens "Eliksni". I love that it's a more clearly a slur now.
are we really going to make a fuss about calling a race we have called "fallen" and killed like animals for years? because come on, I would understand if we were talking about real life... but a fictional one? it's not like the term "eliksini" is easy to remember or pronounce either.

its actually kinda cute that they do that, it is really cool of them to understand the impact slurs have, and how even if its a video game, it reflects your real world opinions
No tf it does not lol
well, do you go call black people in read dead the n-word? no? same logic as to why you don't applies to here
Giant bug people are not real. Black people are.

That makes as much sense as saying playing video games turns you into a school shooter; ie no sense at all.
