Current definition for the word 'Holocaust' is what has already been posted.
Current definition for the word 'Faggot' is labeled as 'Informal, Offensive' A homosexual male.
Current definition for the word '******' is a contemptous word for a black or dark-skinned person.
Current definition for the word 'Dick' is labeled as vulgar slang for 'a penis'
Current definition for the word 'Gay' is a homosexual man as the primary defintion.

Taken in the context of today, the word 'Holocaust' standing alone does not in refer to the jewish genocide of world war 2. However the other words being thrown out in this thread are clearly tied to negative/offensive definitions without any modifier being required.

Now, I would lend some actual credence for a person who was geniuinly upset by the word 'Holocaust' if they were thinking about it in terms of what happened in WW2. The thing is, it's very clear that the people crying about the guild name are just doing it because they're at dangerous levels of rustle.

If someone wanted to get really pendantic 'Azrael' breaks the naming convention by being a reference to a religious / pop culture character. Course I'm sure 40-50% of the character/guild names on the server technically break the naming conventions.

I would personally die of laughter if someone made a guild called 'Gay Dick Faggots'.
please give legitimate citation, then i will read the rest of your post.
