It's all subjective.

Welcome to linguistics.
When you ask 10 people what they first think of when they hear the word "Holocaust," you will probably get at least nine responses hinting toward the Judeocide that occurred during WW2.
The members of the guild "Holocaust" don't get to claim the word for their own use. I can't make a guild called "Coon Killers" and claim that my guild is all about killing racoons, or killing country bumpkins. I am a slave to whatever the consensus of the definition of the word is.
