A nuclear holocaust exists, but the "Nuclear Holocaust" is not a title of something and is something you just made up.
Had the guild name be "holocaust" or "A holocaust" that would be entirely different. The guilds name is "Holocaust" which with the capital H, signifies it is referring to the real event (that uses capitalized letters) "The Holocaust" , also called "Holocaust".
Make the guild name lower case and the guild name is OK. But if the guild name remains as is, it is offensive to ALL of the following:
1)Jews
2)Armenians
3)Ukranians
4)Sikh
because they all have a capitol H in the name of the event of their genocide.
You guys wanted to argue petty semantics to justify a guild name that is offensive, well thats fine, because I just used semantics to slay you

Some the dumbest shit I ever heard, holocaust has a meaning independent of the events of ww2.
Doesn't matter what you equate it to it's a word in the english language. I equate mint chocolate chip Ice cream to the worst handjob I ever gotten, but I don't run around trying to mint ice cream banned.
and by the way "The Holocaust" is always used to reference WW2, they're guild name is not "The Holocaust" so you have literally no grounds besides trying to lawyer doctor TOS to try and force a ban on people you don't like.
