Political correctness is a sham for those who are afraid to define things as they are; a method used to completely circumvent feeling bad about a perceived bigotry. All that shit does is cause polarization.
Black people are African American while white people are White? No one says, "caucasian" unless they are trying to inadvertently make people feel bad about the polar opposite.
The word holocaust does NOT belong to the Jews. Sho`ah, HaShoah, Churben, Hurban, and The Holocaust are all words to describe it in various Jewish forms, but it is not a word that BELONGS to an event. Holocaust and The Holocaust are not the same and anyone who thinks they are is part of the problem. Adolf, to this day, is verboten for a child's name in Germany. |
you are supporting a very bizarre view by trying to make this analogy. Adolf would not have been an appropriate name for classic everquest, so whether or not it's verboten for the jesus of fucking Nazareth it's a really bad example to use.
there is a time and a place to have these discussions about controversial topics, a p99 server is not one of them. If the guild's name was "The Holocaust" there would be no dispute over whether or not it was offensive, the only issue is whether or not the word by itself most commonly refers to the judeocide. if you type simply "holocaust" into a search engine you will struggle to find a non-judeocide related article. the soonest i could find anything non-related to the wholesale slaughter of jews was page 8 of the search results.
