History Main / FantasticSlurs

*** ''ComicBook/AgeOfXMan'': "Retrogade" is a slur for people who believe in romance and sex. As Nate was grown in a test tube and had some unfortunate relationships, his perfect world is one where everyone is grown in test tubes and nobody has relationships.

* ''Film/{{Underworld|2003}}'': Werewolves refer to vampires as "bloods". Whether or not the term "lycan" for werewolves is this or OurWerewolvesAreDifferent is a little unclear.

** The Skaven refer to just about everything else as "''X''-Thing" (Man-Thing, Dwarf-Thing, Green-Thing, Dead Thing, etc.). One sourcebook has a Skaven map which uses the Skaven vernacular, in which the Chaos Wastes, populated, if at all, by mutant monstrosities, is labeled [[HereThereBeDragons "Things"]].

** The dwarfs refer to humans as "manlings" or, in their own language, as "umgi", a word that roughly translates as "those who do shoddy work". This is fairly accurate, in truth; most things of human manufacture are decidedly dodgy by dwarf standards.

** Lizardmen call Skaven something that roughly translates to "twisted spawn of the rat". Mind you, this is an entirely accurate description.

** Some human worlds tolerate a small population of mutants, and the word "twist" is a slur for them.

* ''Literature/WhoCensoredRogerRabbit'': The now ubiquitous term ''{{Toon}}'' started out as a slur term for cartoon characters in the novel. (Note the similarity between slurs like ''coon'' or ''cohn'') The movie adaptation ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' still uses it in this sense, although not as blatantly.

* ''Website/GoAnimate'': In the community, there's "bad user", "opinion disrespector" and "baby show lover", commonly used in videos where a certain person is punished in their video.

* ''ComicBook/{{Copperhead}}'': The artificial humans are referred to by the prejudiced (read: everybody) as "arties".

* ''ComicBook/SuperboyNew52'': Superboy himself is the recipient of this this via the retcon that "Kon" is a slur for ALL clones after a rebellion by Kryptonain Clones in the distance past. He however turns this around by taking it as his proper Kryptoian name and becomes and dies as an AllLovingHero.

** Robots are sometimes referred to as "clickers", a term that carries the same connotations as the N-word does in the real word. They prefer "Ferro-Americans" or "Post-organics." Although [[NWordPrivileges that doesn't stop]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "scrap"]] musicians from using it in their songs...
** A lesser slur than "clicker" is "spambo", which carries connotations of both "sambo" and "oreo". Like a can of SPAM luncheon meat, it's metal on the outside, meat on the inside.

* ''ComicBook/TrishTrashRollergirlOfMars'': The {{Martians}} are presented in this comic as a race of insectoid humans with four arms. Because of their insectoid appearance, humans usually refer to them as "bugs".

* In ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', Eldians from Paradis are referred to as "Island Devils"--sometimes even by [[BoomerangBigot other Eldians]].

* ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'': The Asuras refer to the mortal inhabitants of Dicathen and Alacrya as "lessers" to reflect their sense of superiority over them, especially in regards to magic as the Asuras have harmonized their bodies with mana. Their usage of the term ranges from begrudging tolerance to outright HumansAreInsects level of disdain. There is also a second term, "lessuran", which refers to any [[SemiDivine Asura/lesser hybrid]], whom the most conservative Asuras [[HalfBreedDiscrimination view as misbegotten mongrels]]. Given how the Vritra Clan had interbred with and experimented upon the Alacryans for millennia, the term sees heavy use in referring to the caste of Vritra-blooded Alacryans who dominate the continent's social hierarchy.

* In ''VideoGame/InFamousSecondSon'', Conduits are generally known as "Bio-Terrorists" to the public.

* ''Film/TheMatrix'':
** At one point, Switch calls Neo, at the time still unplugged, a [[http://www.douglaslumber.com/images/brochure_logos/duracell/duracell-batteries_lg.jpg "coppertop"]].
** On a meta-level, fans got to call the humans still connected to Matrix "Bluepills" (after the blue pill vs. red pill offered by Morpheus to Neo), even though no-one actually uses this slur in-universe.

* ''VideoGame/Fallout3''

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' had the otherwise benevolent and peaceful kingdom of Hoshido decry the people of their darker rival kingdom Nohr as "Nohrian scum" for invading their country and causing the death of their queen, as a sign that they're not just some perfectly pacifistic kingdom, when they're slighted, 'bad habits' start to show.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance/[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]'' deserves mention for coming up with the most blatant Fantastic Slur ever. Some beorc (humans) actually refer to the laguz (shapeshifting animal-people) as "sub-humans." Also present in the BattleCry "Bleed The [[{{Animorphism}} Half-Breed]]".
** Not to be outdone, the laguz use the word "human" as an ethnic slur (which many beorc [[NWordPrivileges don't even recognize as such]] in the first place.)
** [[HalfHumanHybrids Hybrids]] between the two are referred to by the Laguz as "parentless". The Branded actually consider this the more cruel term. Being called a half-breed might be insulting, but its use is at least acknowledging that the beorc are the responsible for the Branded existing in the first place, while the Laguz are essentially engaging in a race-wide NeverMyFault attitude toward the subject.

** ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'' has several, the most outstanding being "prime" and "clueless". "Prime" is for natives of the a prime material plane (i.e. an actual Earth-like world, such as most regular settings) rather than from Sigil or the outer or inner planes; to many planars, this implies that the person is rural, uneducated, the "country cousin from out of town". A clueless, on the other hand, is very much so; a person who just don't get how things work out among the planes, and sometimes believe he's still back home. Some people consider all primes to be clueless, but there's a good deal of arrogant cluelessness among some planewalkers, too. Baatezu and tanar'ri also consider "devil" and "demon" slurs, respectively.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'': Played with in a sketch about a third ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' sequel painting Lightning as an AdaptationalJerkass, much to actor Creator/OwenWilson's chagrin. He calls Mater "the 'R' word," startling Wilson, but it's actually "rusty," an insult to cars. However, Lightning also spends the next several pages calling Mater the ''real-life'' "R" word.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'', humans are called "livestock" by vampires since they are treated as no more than tasty cattle to be culled and slaughtered. At one point TheBrute God Brand calls a warrior was trying to do a LastStand "brave livestock".
** At least one human Saint Germain in Season 3 was ballsy enough to refer to {{Dracula}} himself lord of all vampires as a "leech".

* In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', the clonetroopers call droids "clankers".
** Which is taken from the game ''Republic Commando''. The accompanying books also give us "Tinnies" and "Wets," to refer to any organic enemy.
*** They also call [=Twi'leks=] "tailheads." Bad pun on "towelheads," or unintentional? You decide!

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'', it is revealed that Tamaranians are often refered to as "Troq" by other species. When Cyborg asks what it means, Starfire comments that "It means nothing". Later on, he calls her that himself and she immediately becomes enraged, demanding that he never call her that again. Confused, he asks what the big deal is about a word that doesn't mean anything, to which she clarifies that the word [[ExactWords literally means "nothing"]], and is used to call her race worthless. While she was merely depressed by being called it, Cyborg and Robin were decidedly ''furious'' when they learn the truth.

* ''Fanfic/TheLastSon'': Graydon Creed and the Friends of Humanity, in addition to the canon "muties" for mutants, create the term "krypper" to refer to Superman and other Kryptonians by bastardizing the word Krypton.

* ''Fanfic/FluffyPony'':
