That's closer to actual medieval period speak though, Joan of Arc's and Shakespeare's time. Lots of our ordinary words today had more significance back then.

Etymology
Search
occupy (v.)
mid-14c., occupien, "to take possession of and retain or keep," also "to take up space or room or time; employ (someone)," irregularly borrowed from Old French ocuper, occuper "occupy (a person or place), hold, seize" (13c.) or directly from Latin occupare "take over, seize, take into possession, possess, occupy," from ob "over" (see ob-) + intensive form of capere "to grasp, seize," from PIE root *kap- "to grasp."

The final syllable of the English word is difficult to explain, but it is as old as the record; perhaps it is from a modification made in Anglo-French. During 16c.-17c. the word was a common euphemism for "have sexual intercourse with" (a sense attested from early 15c.), which caused it to fall from polite usage.

"A captaine? Gods light these villaines wil make the word as odious as the word occupy, which was an excellent good worde before it was il sorted." [Doll Tearsheet in "2 Henry IV"]
During the same time occupant could mean "prostitute." Related: Occupied; occupying.
So to them, Occupy Wall Street would have been thought of as a different movement altogether. It's possible the double meaning was intentional, a more formal way of saying "fuck" Wall Street, but who knows. It's not hard for most here to interpret what the player in question was trying for though because it happens all too often here in one form or another. What can I get away with and for how long?

I could even understand someone coming to a dev and saying “hey I’m worried that a Jewish person might be offended by this” as some kind of a warning

But to say you’re offended by something that doesn’t even apply to you is just…unhealthy IMO. It’s taking on extra stress you don’t need
imagine an alternative world where a person finds out that the name they chose could be perceived by someone as offensive and they offer to willingly change it out of an abundance of caution and empathy. Good. now go back to getting offended by people being offended on behalf of others.

I choose not to allow other people to dictate how I conduct my life based on the idea that someone, somewhere "might" be offended by something I say or do.

That's stupid.

At the same time when I find something offensive, I turn it off, or go somewhere else, or ignore the person or offensive thing and move on with my life. Starting a crusade to weed out all evil in the world based on your subjective sense of morality is fruitless and creates people that have no emotional or cognitive resilience. And unfortunate byproduct of freedom (especially that of speech) means that people will say (or do) things you don't like.
