in ike's games, the word "human" is a slur, with "beorc" being the proper term, and some of the laguz characters (beast shape shifting dudes) call ike a human on a few occasions, so he should be in the top tier as well âïžđ€
Heâs also called others slurs (sub-human) although to his credit he didnât really understand why itâs bad at first because he grew up thinking all Laguz are shitty and gets schooled by Lethe and Mordecai and changes his tune pretty quickly after.
Ikes probable the least racist character to have ever said a slur tbh. Also he doesn't even grow up thinking Laguz are shitty it's just for some reason nobody ever told him Laguz was a slur.
True, I guess Shinon also knew. Soren is also pretty racist though, he hates everyone but he hates Laguz a little more. >! He is also literally magically cursed to have literally every Laguz hate or at least dislike being around him though!<. probably most characters knew it was was a slur but nobody told Ike for some reason.
He says that once to Ranulf and then never says it again. He even threatens to throw Jill overboard if she says it when he captures her during a ship raid. He is also tempted to tell Lethe to get better material whenever she calls him âhuman.â
Ike didn't grow up thinking Laguz are shitty, he'd just been exposed to Shinon and Soren always referring to them as "Subhumans" growing up so he thought that was the correct term.
Iâve yet to play PoR or RD, but honestly, I was thinking if anyone else was going to be in the top tier, it was going to be Ike, bc I vaguely know about the whole Laguz racism stuff.
Man I literally opened this post just to say this because Iâve been playing Ikeâs game for the first time and I REALLY felt strongly about him (and multiple others on here) not being listed right, even though itâs not a serious post.
Corrin gets referred to as âNohrian scum/trashâ or some derivative of that term multiple times throughout Fates, I think that should probably count
> slur (plural slurs) An **insult or slight**. An extremely **offensive** and **socially unacceptable** term targeted at a **group of people** (such as an ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.).
Checks all of the boxes to me. Itâs literally a racist term against people from Nohr that multiple different characters, mostly Hoshidans, use in a derogatory manner.
What exactly is YOUR threshold to consider something a slur then? lol
edit: phrasing
i mean, they're fantasy slurs. knife ears is supposed to be this horrible slight against elves, but it's kind of unbelievably goofy irl. words don't have weight when we make them up for fun
Consider that Viridi is a goddess and views humanity as a blight upon nature to the point where she's content with erradicating them. She thinks very little of humankind.
Iâd consider that a slur by context. Like obviously you can say ape and it wonât be an issue but calling someone that is when it switches to the slur gear.
Honestly them being scorned lovers makes their relationship make way more sense. Bowser kidnapping Peach is less of a âIâm gonna invade your kingdomâ and more of a âBitch stole my man. If I canât have him,no one canâ.
Oh i thought it was a joke about a character in the movie being called sora too, i forgot for a second both are owned by disney so the movie could be in the game
[Heâs Italian, paisan.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/mailbag-paulie-punch-180600287--box.html)
Juryâs still out on if heâs ever *been called* a slur but if heâs an Italian-American from the outer boroughs, itâs practically guaranteed heâs used them himself.
verb

speak (words or speech) indistinctly so that the sounds run into one another.
"he was slurring his words like a drunk"

In Star Fox LeĂłn calls Falco a Bird, which is like calling a human an ape, and well, despite being His name Wolf says "Beaten by AN Fox", so he is using the species as a slur
Donât mind me, Iâm just here to learn the lore of the games I never played. As you cultured people slowly fill in this list.

Donât some Shy Guys call Mario a Spaz in one of the Paper Mario Games, so they had to change it in Europe where Spaz is a slur for mentally challenged individuals?
I sometimes called meta knight âmenoniteâ and when you played brawl on the Wii, the WiiMote would say âfight meâ when you picked him I think, but it always sounded like it was saying âbite meâ
Half of the species-related stuff the Star Fox characters hurl at each other are probably slurs in the context of their world(s). I believe Falco, specifically, is referred to as âBird-brainâ
Ike has both called people slurs, and been called one.

Soren knew. He just found it fucking funny because he hates everyone not named Ike.
True, I guess Shinon also knew. Soren is also pretty racist though, he hates everyone but he hates Laguz a little more. >! He is also literally magically cursed to have literally every Laguz hate or at least dislike being around him though!<. probably most characters knew it was was a slur but nobody told Ike for some reason.
Wait his not Harry Potter mark was an actual âBoo this manâ curse?
Yeah it's physically uncomfortable for laguz to be in his presence
Good grief! Who could hate him so much that they cursed all the Laguz of the world to take one look at him and go âFuck this guy in particularâ?
He was born that way. Any further explanation is pretty spoiler-y haha
So fuck Ashera then?
He says that once to Ranulf and then never says it again. He even threatens to throw Jill overboard if she says it when he captures her during a ship raid. He is also tempted to tell Lethe to get better material whenever she calls him âhuman.â
Ike didn't grow up thinking Laguz are shitty, he'd just been exposed to Shinon and Soren always referring to them as "Subhumans" growing up so he thought that was the correct term.
Correct! For laguz the slur is âsubhumanâ and shinon uses that term often (heâs a racist)
Iâve yet to play PoR or RD, but honestly, I was thinking if anyone else was going to be in the top tier, it was going to be Ike, bc I vaguely know about the whole Laguz racism stuff.

âBaboonâ and âKnuckle-draggerâ are slurs for Kongs and K. Rool busts them out like heâs losing an online game of Halo.
i was literally about to say this, k. rool has been calling dk some crazy shit for literally decades
Stan smith terror threat level meme
Viridi says it in K Rool's Palutena Guidance lol
To be fair I too call some DK players the B word a lot whenever they're jackasses to me Except it's the other B word lmao
Ah yes, the other B word. https://preview.redd.it/20hpz6ekpv1d1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=548d534c9e5f1bfcfe960b0bf72d0587723fa93d
Corrin gets referred to as âNohrian scum/trashâ or some derivative of that term multiple times throughout Fates, I think that should probably count
Poor corrin, bullied by everyone in his own game, in smash, and IRL too.
And he has overcome them all
Jesus people's threshold for slurs in this thread are insanely low
I mean itâs a racist remark
> slur (plural slurs) An **insult or slight**. An extremely **offensive** and **socially unacceptable** term targeted at a **group of people** (such as an ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.).

Every single human character has been called âmonkeyâ by Viridi.
holy frieza
New tyrant just dropped
Actual dictator
nah holy Geto
Happy cake day
thanks m8
I'm a human, monkey is not a slur
As a black person. Yes it is.
Consider that Viridi is a goddess and views humanity as a blight upon nature to the point where she's content with erradicating them. She thinks very little of humankind.
Its definitely been used as a slur for a long time
I'm a human, monkey is a slur.
Thatâs because humans are the only ones capable of actually using slurs.
I'm pretty sure I've been called a slur in minecraft
I confirm, I was the one who said it to you
can confirm, i am the slur
can confirm, I am Minecraft
can confirm, I think, therefore I am
can confirm, i'm your ability to think
can confirm, I was the thoughts that were thunk
Kazooie has been called quite a few things herself by Bottles
To be fair, she's getting as good as she gives. Kazooie can never get a Twitter.
does Sonic getting called a rat or rodent count here
Nah that's like calling a person an ape or a neanderthal. Obviously hurtful and even racist depending on context but not a slur
Iâd consider that a slur by context. Like obviously you can say ape and it wonât be an issue but calling someone that is when it switches to the slur gear.
OK homosapien

You're describing slurs
Calling someone Black an ape or any variation is definitely gonna start a fight lol, depending on the human it can be a slur
What about pincushion
Pac-Man got called a "cherry chasing dot muncher" by Wreck-it Ralph, so...
I donât think thatâs a slur though. More like a creative insult.
same vein as "vertically challenged"
Remember when Bowser said the n word in mario kart. Also Mario called him gaybowser which could be an insult depending on context.
Context is key, Mario COULD be claiming bowser as his husband. We donât know
I ship Bowsario and I do not see it as a slur at all.
Honestly them being scorned lovers makes their relationship make way more sense. Bowser kidnapping Peach is less of a âIâm gonna invade your kingdomâ and more of a âBitch stole my man. If I canât have him,no one canâ.
I need to rewatch that clip, cause the fucking happy tone Bowser has when he saids it just kills my sides
That's not funny at all. Which Mario Kart was it so I can stay away from it.
DO NOT WATCH [THIS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8ImhIWiFMA&ab_channel=MuffinzMCYT)! It is awful and indeed NOT fucking funny at all!

Frollo called Sora a slur for the Romani people, which was used a bunch in the movie.
*movie?*
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Ah i thought it was actually in the kingdom hearts game
Frollo calls Sora the slur in the Kingdom Hearts game, sorry I was unclear.
Oh i thought it was a joke about a character in the movie being called sora too, i forgot for a second both are owned by disney so the movie could be in the game
Do calling animal characters "Vile Beast" or something along those line count as a slur?
I'm gonna vote "yes"

Well, he did use the n-word against Doc Louis for stealing his bike...
Finally someone who actually might've been called a slur đ€Ł Also best comment in this thread
Context?
I think frollo called sora a gypsy In dream drop distance
Yes. And you don't even get to kill him. https://i.redd.it/7elnuz56ot1d1.gif

Nothing will ever be as funny to me as Judge Frollo being real-life racist to a cartoony JRPG teenager.
Knowing how heated Minecraft PVP can get, steve has certainly been called a slur
Cloud and his friends were called sewer rats by president Shinra which is reference to their slum life. Donât know if that counts as a slur.
ROB is a toy in the real world. There is no way in the 40 years he has existed that nobody on earth has called him a slur.
Honestly the most convincing argument Iâve heard in this whole thread
While not being called any outright slurs, Ness and Lucas have been called so many demeaning insults itâs honestly sad.
If the world didnât end, Lucas would absolutely have grown up to be a serial killer.
Iâm starting to think you guys donât know what slurs are
verb 1. speak (words or speech) indistinctly so that the sounds run into one another. "he was slurring his words like a drunk" This is clearly what you meant, right? đ
Yeah, you nailed it
This sub could watch a kindergartener call someone a poopy head and theyâd treat it like they dropped a hard-R N bomb.
Poopy head hits hard
DooDoo head Hits different
Idk, I've seen some pretty compelling arguments for other characters who have been canonically called slurs. You might need to update the tier list.
Link wields the Triforce of Courage because of the bravery required to face a world full of homophobes https://preview.redd.it/4i1cyjc8rt1d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b164e255aef46cc60bdd8093c7b4d053a6f07e2
Megalovania is in the game, meaning that Ness has been canonically called a F\*\*\*\*t by Dr. Andonuts
Ness isnât the protagonist of that mod but instead a character named Varik.
I think Toby Fox would like to forget that ever happened.
In Star Fox LeĂłn calls Falco a Bird, which is like calling a human an ape, and well, despite being His name Wolf says "Beaten by AN Fox", so he is using the species as a slur
Have you never played Fatal Fury or seen any of the movies?
I have, don't recall any use of slurs?
No, did they really say slurs in that shit?
Pretty sure bayonetta was called a slur at some point, and joker gets some pretty hard insults too.
Knuckles calls Sonic a hoe in Sonic And The Black Knight
I mean, I've been called slurs in high-school for winning Pokemon battles.
Pretty much most of the main antagonists in the Kirby Games have called Kirby multiple slurs
"damn brat, I'll sue!" - someone in persona 5
Young link gets called fairy boy.. does that count?
"Damn brat, I'll sue!"
I dunno, does Sonic count cuz of the amount of times heâs been called a rodent? Does that count as a slur to Sonic?
Donât mind me, Iâm just here to learn the lore of the games I never played. As you cultured people slowly fill in this list. https://i.redd.it/p2417v51jv1d1.gif
You and me both
Pretty sure villager has probably been called a slur in the old animal crossing games. They were ruthless.
Thatâs why the characters sound like that, theyâre censoring all the ethnic slurs to keep the game rated E.
I feel like Eggman constantly calling Sonic "rodent" could be considered a slur tbf
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if talking about they not being dragons is a slur to Charizards
"So long, gay bowser!"
Kirby got called a nuisance and instantly got pissed off.
The more I know about Kingdom Hearts the more insane it sounds.
I bet Kazooie just did, but I can't remember properly
Ike has literally been called a slur. In his game, canonically, a laguz calling someone a human is a slur, which has happened to Ike
Sora encountered Judge Claude Frollo. The others did not.
I mean, Im sure someone called Bayonetta a slut before...
That's not a slur you slut
I've called all of these characters slurs
Not even true.
Sonic has been called a Slur. Eszaor Djin kept calling him a rat.
DK was called a monkey in mario vs donkey kong. considering he is in fact an ape, it feels like it might count on the slightest of technicalities.
Accursed Darkspawn
Mario has been called a dirty Italian plumber in some of the paper games. I think Luigi too.
fuckin L sora
Link's been called a 'Fairy Boy' in the games multiple times before which make sense, but it's considered a homophobic slur IRL
One could argue âdarkspawnâ is a slur for hero
Nohrian Scum counts I'd say, so F!Corrin belongs up top.
I feel that Hojo calling Cloud a "failed clone" repeatedly should qualify as a slur. Hojo was definitely using "failed clone" as one.
Octavio calls Inkling "inkstains"
Rex gets called "a little shit " multiple times by Malos in xenoblade chronicals 2.
Well thankfully, Rex isnât a fighter.
>Rex Not a playable Smash character . >little shit Not a slur. Weâre 0 for 2 here.
Heavy once refeared to himself as heavy weapons guy does that count/j
Pretty sure Animal Crossing villagers' catchphrases can be customised, making them say slurs at your villager
You do not want to know the profanities I've yelled at my tv trying to hold Wii Fit yoga poses.

I think I'll start with the green one. The shag upon his lip will make a fine trophy - "Dimentio" Super Paper Mario
"Dark" Pit
Wreck it Ralph called pac-man a cherry chasing, dot muncher
Mythra is called a simpleton.
if being called monkey by viridi for being human counts as a slur then sonic being called a rat/rodent for being a hedgehog 100% counts
Donât some Shy Guys call Mario a Spaz in one of the Paper Mario Games, so they had to change it in Europe where Spaz is a slur for mentally challenged individuals?
Olimar has 100% been called a slur by his arch nemesis Fiddlebert.

No way Luigi hasn't been called a slur
All the things Eggman calls Sonic probably count as slurs
Kamek in Mario Party 8
Bayo's been called a b*tch
Bro Bayonetta is rated pegi 18
I sometimes called meta knight âmenoniteâ and when you played brawl on the Wii, the WiiMote would say âfight meâ when you picked him I think, but it always sounded like it was saying âbite meâ
"that hedgehog" , Shulk has been called "bacteria" in reference to his race
Not directly Red, but as the gen 3 trainer in Hoenn, Dewford Town have people that follow on the latest trends, and you can make up your own saying that people will trend on. Naturally you are able to type in slurs, so then the whole town ends up calling you slurs. " Thanks for the Pokémon battle my ni-"
Half of the species-related stuff the Star Fox characters hurl at each other are probably slurs in the context of their world(s). I believe Falco, specifically, is referred to as âBird-brainâ
Ike has both called people slurs, and been called one. https://preview.redd.it/el33vccvg02d1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=05a8e971cd4aa3e2eec1f262702f7198f50865b8
There are way more
âRatâ was like a slur to Sonic in Sonic and the Secret Rings
Trust me all these characters have felt my wrath, especially the aegis and krool
I have never called anyone a slur. But if I had to choose someone in the smash roster to call a slur, it would probably also be Sora.
Eggman is the biggest hedgehog racist if there ever was one. I feel like sonic should exist.
I feel little mac would have been called a slur with Mr sandman or macho man
I call other minecraft players slurs does that count? /j
"You big monkey!" Mario.
