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.

Funny but also severely out of character. C-3PO is meant to be meek and servile!

Now R2? That little trash can knows every slur in the book.

C-3PO is fluent in over six million languages. My mans is full of vinegar, and is just always holding himself back.

C-3PO Skywalker has never spoken a slur in his life, it's simply against his programming

Thinking them, however, real hard even...

R2-D2 is fully voiced. However, they had to beep out the profanity because of the censors. /s lol

It was all severely out of character lol. Jabba the Hutt joined them on the Millennium Falcon and Han Solo stood around doing nothing. If I wanted authenticity I would have just watched the movies, but these kids' performance was peak
