You make some good arguments, but I feel like its a subjective matter at the end of the day.
As I said, if we’re to split hairs, I still think ‘Operatives’ to be the better moniker. Unless you disagree on that point, that is.

I don’t mind ‘operatives’, it’s just ‘rejects’ I personally don’t particularly like.
Then it would be a good alternative. Better than “Everyone” at least.
I’d take “karkin Abhuman” too. But for official, out of game communication it might be a good idea to use neutral stuff like “hey players” that much is ture.
Shut yer trap and fight for the Emperor, reject.

what’s wrong with everyone btw? 
I also like acolyte, it’s the rank (so far we get) when we gain trust from the inquisition order, in fact the game is structured where, the more you level up, the more weapons you unlock. because of trust and loyalty, at the end of the story of darktide, we proven ourselves not traitors.
after that i believe Rannick they call us Acolytes, which is one of the many ranks, if not the first one you can get from the order.
we aren’t really rejects if you think, they just call like that because for them at the begin, we are no one, when we prove ourselves, we starting getting attention from the order.
also zealots and psykers but basically everyone, are working for the Emperor
our characters also at the begin went in prison because some of the crimes we didn’t actually do iirc
For real, I’ve killed more heretics than a space marine at this point. Yet everyone of rank on the ship treat’s my characters like dirt. IVE KILLED MORE HERETICS THAN DAYS YOU’VE BEEN ALIVE MORROW, ZIP IT!
- Gameplay vs narrative (Ludo narrative dissonance)
- They’ll keep treating us like trash cause there isn’t really any way to go up the social ladder in the lore.
Once a reject.
Always a reject.
Even when at trust 30 we aren’t put in the same Warband as either the Inquisitorial Guardsmen nor the Auric one, we’re still part of Morrow’s Warband, the Rejects.

IIRC Zola was a reject once as well, but one one is calling her Reject, so “once reject always reject” doesn’t make sense really.

I’ll put it this way: with all of the troubles Fatshark had with Darktide before it got into the shape it is now, I believe the “rejects” moniker was in bad taste.
I understand that it was for memeing and lore purposes, but it’s one thing for me to hear the “rejects” moniker in-game from NPCs, and it’s quite another when the CM’s use it on the forum, where they’re addressing the players (customers) directly rather than the characters that we play in-game.
Calling your customers’ “rejects” is definitely an interesting approach.

I’ve said it before, I ultimately don’t care either way.
That said, it is irrefutable that Rannick refers to the player as an Acolyte and an “official part of the warband” (or something to that effect) at max level.
If they want an evolving narrative, that means acknowledging it as it happens. Just because some people started playing the game late, doesn’t mean reject should still be used overall, it makes no sense, we’re 2 years in at this point.
But again, they could call us their Fatshark guppies or whatever and I still wouldn’t gaf. I just want more content.

“Everyone” is just a bit boring. It’s the White Bread selection, when we’ve got perfectly good sourdough o’er there.

Ive been wondering who exactly we where rejected by anyhow… they recruited me since they respect the skills
The Imperium, we were thrown into the gutter.
And we were picked because we were available. The moment they manage to get some more Impeerial Guard regiment and have no use for us, we’re toast, sent to suicide mission after suicide mission…
