Would this be Racist?

Dragonmyflesh

I've spent about 2 days making a game where you click a bowl of soup to gain points for your language, there is a leaderboard that ranks the languages by the amount of points it has. I want to know if this is allowed because some people might think that the project is meant to rank languages from worst to best; which is racist.

Real.

I would suggest using fake languages, but if you want to use real languages I would wait for Za-Chary or someone else.

I actually wouldn't recommend using fake languages because in my experience “fake” languages can be interpreted as racist versions of real languages.

what a silly sounding game (that's a compliment)

i would just recommend you make your intentions clear. “this leaderboard shows how many times the soup was clicked by each language” should be enough.

I believe that'll be alright. Just make it clear this isn't about ranking languages/countries, only for a silly fun thing to see which language has the most clicks

Glad you found an answer! Since this is resolved, I'll close it to help highlight the answer and prevent future responses. If you need it re-opened, though, you can report this and ask.
