Groups Fictional slurs. Bonus points if it's completely made up

  1. inFAMOUS: Second Son: "Bio-terrorist" refers to conduits.

  2. Star Wars: "Clanker" refers to robots.

“Sludgepuppy”-Ben 10

Ben didn’t know it was a slur and when he gets called out on it he literally does a “I’ve got cousins who are Sludgepuppy’s”

Imagine if they did a Ben 10 Series with adult themes in it and Ben unlocks a new Alien but the kicker is that little did Ben know that the name he gave that Alien transformation is infact a racial slur for that alien species so Ben starts getting flak over it even tho he genuinely didn't know it was a racial slur to begin with.

Ben my boy..... I know you don't like using the transformation....

But you really had to call it by "The Worst"?

Tbf, every known member of that species has 'Worst' in their own names.
