So I Googled Holocaust. The first reference was Wikipedia. Funny thing is, they give the generic definition of the word, and then list the Jewish Holocaust under the "disambiguation" link. So yall might want to petition Wikipedia for being racists and anti-Semites. Cause they don't recognize the Jewish Holocaust as the most obvious definition of the word.

More offensively, they also suggest Holocaust JOKES as like #3 of the top 8 suggested searches. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Google jokes about THE holocaust. Google is so insensitive.

It also suggests you stop looking at Holocaust and instead look at Anne Frank? The holocaust is super cereal Google... I don't have time to look at childish girly unicorn and rainbow stickers!

First time i heard the word holocaust was in a song, and it wasn't referencing the "Jewish" holocaust at all but rather a story from the bible or torah, or something along those lines.

By the OPs logic, the word slavery should only offend those of African descent. Never mind the scores of other groups of people who have been enslaved through out history.


OP obviously a troll, or just an idiot.

holocaust definitely is an insensitive name. I would also put money that the name originally came about intending to troll people given the ambiguity of how you can interpret it.

do i have a problem with it, especially given im jewish? Yea a little bit. Do i give that much of a fuck? Nah, not really.

This whole name policy is fucking retarded and so is how it is being enforced. but its r99, so either you deal with it or you get out. there will always be tears one way or the other

Holocaust is a very general term referring to a mass slaughter or genocide. Now if the guild was named "Shoah" that would be a pretty different story.
