This.

Honestly, Tilien, you're coming across as someone that refuses to really look at the situation you're dealing with. Look at the context of the situation. We're here talking about a PVP game server. I mean, I wasn't in the guild, but when I saw the name, I immediately thought, okay, troll guild, but when I thought about what the word literally meant I thought, damn, what good name for a PVP guild and moved on with life. Then, add to that the fact that there was multiple recorded instances of people being disciplined/removed for making references to The Holocaust, and what more is there to argue about? Being able to process that knee-jerk reaction, and reason it out afterward is part of being an adult that unfortunately not enough people choose to embrace. This then leads to a conversation about feelings, which can almost never be won by either side.

On the flip side of the argument, I think that by naming the guild Holocaust and sparking these conversations, those fine men and women on Red weren't being edgy or insensitive. In fact, I think they provided a great service to history and the preservation of the memory of those terrible events. According to WaPo (yeah, I can Google, too), 2/3 of Millennials don't know what Auschwitz is and 22% have never heard of The Holocaust. There's people reading these threads that have thus Googled and learned more about it than they otherwise would know. For that I say, kudos, and carry on.

Logic is on this man’s side.
