Any way to make Yrliet stop calling you monkey?

[Razer]

Got really fed up with it last time and kicked her off the ship. So is there any way to make her stop doing that and treat you with respect? Or kinda just nah she's b!tch for life?

[Echoside7]

No, calling humans Mon'Keigh is pretty much an Eldar thing. Eldar view pretty much everything not Eldar as beneath them. Thus massive amounts of Racism.

Get reborn as an Aeldari.

Once you get in her good books she starts calling you something else

Man it's gonna be so hard not killing them on any playthrough then.

Ok well that's good news. I hope. I wonder why there's no option to tell her to shut up and just call you by name.

Mon'Keigh, the Eldar world for human (that said, i do believe it was originally monkey, but it was to problematic so games workshop altered it slightly to its own word).

I get back at her by calling her xeno at every opportunity.

Yea I know, and it still is monkey. Because that's what they're saying. Doesn't matter if they spell it differently. I mean that's like saying Loo'Zuhr is a good name to use for someone because Aeldari.

Sounds slightly different to monkey for me. But fair enough.

Sure they use a little bit different emphasis. But 100% it's the word monkey.

Oh it 100% is suppose to be monkey but they lore-ifed it so it wasn't real world racist. In lore Mon'Keigh were a race of cannibals that arrogantly attacked the Eldar and got genocided for it. So now the Eldar use it as a racist term to basically say your race should "Eat ♥♥♥♥ and die" but less crass.

If they had a different word for it I would have found it a lot more acceptable with that lore background info and less "lame" to be honest. The fact that they're using an earth animal to describe us is baffling. There's very little probability that these aliens or most of the humans in the empire for that matter have actually seen or even know what a monkey is. But that goes for more language that's being used. Even the word "rat" is used, but I doubt any of the people in the story has ever seen an actual rat before.

As a species the Eldar have been space faring for like 50 million years and at their height had a pop in the hundreds of trillions. They probably know what monkeys are even if it's really stupid lore wise how close the two words sound. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if proto-humanity were the "current fad" pets for the Eldar at some point.

I'm pretty sure that 40.000 years into the future monkeys are all extinct including everything else on this planet cept for maybe us. An animal that only lives on a single planet among millions and millions. Why would anyone know or care about this? The only reason it's used here is because we recognize it as a derogatory term for a person in this day and age. Anyone in the 40K universe knowing it makes very very little sense. Even humans living on other planets probably don't know it, unless it's specifically mentioned in history books and hten it's probably not relevant to use as a word since it has little meaning or value. I mean there's litterally millions and millions of worlds where people live with their own ecosystem. Likely all different. It'd be far more reasonable that all of them have their own type of creatures that they know and relate to in some fashion when it comes to language use. An animal that just exists (or existed) on a single planet makes little sense.

Because Monkey is used as a catch-all human term to describe primates and non-earth born creatures could be classified as primates. There's a pretty good chance the Eldar visited Earth sometime in the distant past, just like the Void Dragon shard attacked Earth back in Early Human history only to get spanked by Big E.

The Eldar ruled the entire Milkway for millions of years, don't assume they never studied us.

Super far fetched. I mean I get it. You can roleplay your way around it, but it's super super far fetched. It's extremely unlikely that any xenos race knows anything about the primates on our planet let alone use it as a derogatory term for us. It just doesn't make sense.

Right it's super farfetched that a species that ruled the Milky Way for millions of years and is composed entirely of psykers(Known for Farseeing both in time and distance) might have studied Earth at one point? Even if they didn't there are records of Humans and Eldar interacting in a semi-friendly manner back before/during the DAOT. It's not really a stretch. It's stupid and a weak spot in the lore sure but not outside the realms of reasonable possibility.

The Void Dragon thing isn't roleplay btw that's actually in the lore. Big E smacked his ass to Mars back before man had even touched orbit let alone actual space and somehow all of humanity just ignored/forgot about it.

Warhammer lore is crazy and out there.
