Overall I thought that most of the unit chats matched well with the way most of the armies have been depicted in the books.

Yeah, but it wasn't as COOL as the orks.

I'm house hunting atm so I'll plow onwards in a bit. GW has posted the inquistor rules online so I downladed a copy so I can do equipment and stuff.

Making fun of lower class liverpudlians for their accents and stupidity is precisely as funny as making fun of servile negroes for their accents and stupidity. And for the same reason.

Laughing at the Liverpool accents and perpetuating a low-intelligence stereotype makes you a bad person.

As someone who wasn't heartbroken to be told I'm not a paragon of Good, I can live with that.

Upon reading Cielingcat's Ork party line-up, I realize that I'm a bad person.

[Judging__Eagle]

Well, I didn't really know where the accent specifically came from until now.

I sort of always thought it was just gutter english and that it just fun of uneducated people in general, not english from a specific location or peoples.

[cthulhu]

Despite having lived in england, I didn''t recognize that as a liverpool accent.. though I never went to the mersey area either.

The funny part is that out of everyone in 40k, the only race that can be argued to be "better" than the Orks are the Tau.

So what method sort of non-offensive accent should we have the space orks speak in? Red-neck? Hillbilly? Valley Girl? Or maybe they should talk like the kids in Special-ed? 'Cause we sure as hell won't have them talk like Klingons.

[CalibronXXX]

Valley Girl, Valley Girl!

Humans are, like, so uncool. They're, like, pink and squishy and stuff, and like totally not buff. And they're, like, all the same size. I mean, how are you going to, like, tell the difference between them?

Humans are so five levels ago.

WEEABOO! WEEABOO!

Though I'm not entirely sure why the Tau are considered the weeaboo race. I haven't really read up on them that much.

Maybe the orks should speak like the Warcraft ones? You know, gruff and deep-voiced, and occasionally use random words like "Zug-zug" and "Lok-tar!"

[CalibronXXX]

Huh? What do the Tau have to do with otakuism? Really all I know about the Tau is what I read in Brian Clevinger's little front page blurb.

[cthulhu]

Because they belive in 'the way' fly around in mecha suits styled like anime cartoon gear is the reason.

[Cielingcat]

The Tau are basically Confucianists, but with weeaboo tech.

[Koumei]

Ah, cheers, that explains a lot.
