syft making auschwitz jokes in another thread clearly the person to listen to on this topic

I know reading comprehension isn't your best attribute but no Jew would take offense to what I said on the other thread.

Everyone shut up and join the Gay Blades! All we do is suck dicks!

I don't get the joke/humor. Am I missing something that is hysterical about being called Gay Blades and making gay referenced comments?

The following types of names are considered unacceptable:
Vile, profane, rude, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, and homonyms of these words.
Combinations of words that produce an offensive result (e.g. Hugeazz, Tug Mcgroin).
Names of religious, occult, or significant historic origin (e.g. Jesus, Allah, Satan, Stalin).

I guess then calling yourself Adolf Hitler is allright, because there was other Adolf Hitlers in the past, it doesnt mean i mean that im that Adolf Hitler, right?

I knew the word holocaust as it's actual meaning long before I learned of the WW2 genocide. It's a well-used term in writing, particularly science fiction.

Ignorance shouldn't lead to censorship, though it usually does.

lol @ reading si fi books with the word holocaust before you learned what happened in ww2 (probably 6th grade)

Hot damn, Derubael, you are my new hero! Great quote.

For the record, The Holocaust was a horrible, horrible, horrible event. That can't be over stated. However, a holocaust is different imo, but I can understand why people have trouble differentiating between the two terms. If a guild with this name bothers you, then red99 is definitely not the server for you.

Oh, and holocaust is not used as a derogatory term to demean or belittle a group of people, like some of the others purposed guild names mentioned in this thread. That is the difference imo.

Disclaimer, I stopped reading the thread after Derubael's post. No point in reading further, he summed up my thoughts pretty well.

The point is not really what holocaust really means for them, but to me its more that they had a person like Casey in the past and colgate who were explicitely racist and viewed in that light, it makes the server look pretty bad.

HB also a racist but not something he cares about getting out there

I mean look at this shit, that was Ha-Ha's all around for Casey when he posted that sort of shit

Notice the part where he hates jews, yeah, holocaust

(I dont give a shit about the fact that HB doesnt give a shit about hanging around racists)

[Heyitsme]

Again im not as well asking for the name to be removed but stepping around the fact that a guild called holocaust harbored hardcore racists in the past, just no.
