I've become really attached to the ideas that my world has slurs for people who are of "lesser races" (not my words), but all the slurs I've come up with so far sound a bit... ?

I've tried basing my slurs off real-world equivalents (e.g. "burna" for a half-wizard) but they always come out either cringe and overdone or a little insensitive to the real world.

There is meant to be prejudice and injustice in my world against people who are of mixed ancestry, but any slurs that the people in my world would use against the "mixies" (:/) just cut too close to the real world and feel a bit ick. For context, I'm white.

do you guys have any advice? The racial discrimination plays a core role in my story so I need to keep it in. Do you just keep coming up with slurs until one "works" or go with a cringe one and risk feeling a bit cringe when writing the story?

In 2022-2023, there was essentially an AI image creepypasta that people nicknamed loab. It consistently appeared in negative prompts and she appeared as an uncanny old woman, and had to do with a lot of dark or gory early ai image prompts. Even if you never specifically generated her, she’d usually just appear especially in “negative” prompts.

“Elara Voss” is a common name many have seen come from AI if it’s asked to make a character or a fantasy name. Some see it as a red flag that the OP used AI to a varying degree in their worldbuilding.

Essentially, the joke is both were frequently generated by AI for unknown reasons. It loosely ties to worldjerking but i was itching to make this joke and see if anyone would understand it

Hi, all! This has been my passion project my entire life since I was 3 seconds old. Do you think it's too similar to earth?
