Re: [RPG]: Serenity Roleplaying Game, reviewed by Cthulthoth (4/3)

No, I accept that there are different languages in the Firefly universe. It's just that those words mean different things to me:

A slut is a woman who is promiscuous.
A whore is a woman who is paid for sex, also known as a prostitute.
A Companion is a woman who has training in various arts, who may be either.

If someone were to call my Amorous character a Companion, she would correct them: she's a pilot.
If someone called her a slut, she'd either smirk at them and ask who they had been talking to or else throw a punch depending on who was doing the name-calling and her mood at the time.
If someone called her a whore, she'd break their arm for starters.

And if they are in a different language, don't you have to translate them into your own to know what it is you are talking about?
