Goonwaffe Hate: Thinly-Veiled Anti-Semitism?

As I'm sure most people know, there is a lot of vitriol thrown at Goonwaffe (and indeed, 'Goons' in general) on the forums as of late; Goonwaffe also happens to be the largest Jewish-dominated corporation in the game. The focus has lately been on Goonwaffe's control of OTEC and their portrayal as an evil shadow-cabal of financiers (sound familiar)? Now, I'm not saying that anti-Goons are literally Hitler, but I do think it would be wise for people to examine the motivation behind the Goon hate.

I support all goons, but even I think the OP in this case sounds completely space-spastic...

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

Somehow I doubt that's even occurred to most people. I think everyone tends to hate the successful, and at this time, there is either a reality or an illusion that the goons are the most successful.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Oh good grief.

Fix your tinfoil already.

Until your allegation ( and so far as I am concerned, that's all it is, factless allegation ) how many EvE pilots knew, or even more to the point, CARED, what religious or ethnic background goons have?

Really now. There are so many more worthy conspiracies to chase, many with hard factual and publicly verifiable data to support them.

Definitely a thread deserving of the lock.

Care to point out the lesser Jewish-dominated corporations for comparison?
It would seem to me that the Goons treat the "lesser" corporations with the same tender, caring attitude we have come to expect.

Sir, I salute you, and present you with one internet spaceship forum 'like', use it well.
....Space-spastic... hahahhaaa, that made my day!

Welp, nice to see that even those people who would probably profess to being non-anti-semetic can still put their fingers in their ears and shout "lalalalalal" when they are confronted with overwhelming evidence of its' presence...
