I'm not a retarded failed abortion of a grammar nazi like Uthgaard is, you don't have to worry about being judged on grammatical correctness. There's a lot wrong with this statement, but you can be forgiven.

What you're saying is something like this: ****** is pejorative while holocaust isn't and therefore the comparison is invalid. Like I said before, if the name were explicitly "Jewish Genocide" it would still be inappropriate, even though "Jewish Genocide" is not explicitly pejorative. Therefore, whether or not a term is pejorative is irrelevant to the criteria. If a significant portion of the population considers the two to be synonyms, the name "Holocaust" is not appropriate either for the same reason. That's why the comparison was used.

holy shit this kid's mad lmao

LETS JUST PUT A IN FRONT OF THEIR GUILD NAME THAT'LL FIX IT. [A Holocaust]

I realize now that adjective probably isn't the correct term. god damn you edit.

do you think this kid rages everytime the phrase "nuclear holocaust" is used in talks about nuclear weapons proliferation?

i bet he writes a 15 page letter to the editor about how if you google the word "holocaust" it gives you shit on the jewish holocaust (shocker!) so that must be the only possible use of the word

Again, Holocaust is qualified here by the affix "Nuclear." If the guild were named "Nuclear Holocaust" this thread would not exist.

Anyway, all of those events are atrocities, and should be treated with similar deference to what happened during WW2.

i bet he lays awake at night in feverish sweats anytime a climatologist uses the phrase "environmental holocaust" too

"environmental holocaust"

Qualified by "Environmental." Do you see a pattern emerging?
