And holocaust is technically just a word describing slaughter en masse but then it isn't, especially in the minds of some players with that now defunct guild tag. It's similar to when a celebrity has died IRL and suddenly corpses bearing their name show up everywhere in Norrath. It reflects poorly on the server and adds nothing to the community. Whether it is or isn't [insert word here] isn't the point. People like getting a ride out of each other. That's the internet. Is it racist to knowingly do something that will be (mis)construed as racist, simply to troll? Idk, but where there's smoke... Potayto. Potahto. Fuhrer. Furoar.

"Holocaust" is a word that is typically used to portray one event in human history, most people don't refer to a slaughter of things as a holocaust, like for example, the Armenian Genocide.
From my experience, when I was "new" to the server, I didn't think Dark Men of Odus was racist at all, or trying to insinuate anything. It seemed like a Erudite RP guild so I didn't engage with them because I wasn't into RP.
So would Alex Afrasiabi be racist because his character's name was Furor? If you don't know who that is, he was the GM of the original Fires of Heaven, and now works for Blizzard.
