Yea, he seems like an SJW... uses words and insists his definitions are more relevant than common usage. You seem like one too.
To clarify:
Without context people will assume the word being used corresponds to it's primary USAGE not it's primary academic or dictionary definition. That is why referring to a guild as "holocaust" would make people think of the most common use (referring to genocide) rather than the cherry picked definition you are using.
So are you:
A) Socially unaware
B) Intentionally controversial
C) A SJW snow flake who needs to control the meaning of words rather than letting common use dictate their meaning
Feels like a "c" to me.

Probably. But that doesn't really matter in this context. People were arguing that the guild meant the primary usage, which it did not. So those people misunderstood.
Since the usage of the word was meant to be the dictionary definition because they thought it made sense in the context of a PvP server, there was no issue with the name. They have clarified they meant the dictionary definition, so the people who were up in arms because of a misunderstanding on their part can now rest easy.
Not affiliated with that guild or DMO at all
