Been playing a lot of Disco Elysium recently and I want to refer to the west as Occidental, but I don't think people would get that if I said it out loud
Ignore them, sire. Language is but a means to an end in the stage of life, and if the audience are philistines who know nothing about obscure references to a small town in Jamrock, they are probably just uncultured losers from La Delta.
You're not wrong, but I'm pretty sure the problem is using "oriental" in 2024 champ
