In this game? Why the hell do I see the word jew used as a prejoritive here more than anywhere else, without anyone speaking up in channels when it happens?
I used to see Goons as loveable scamps but the term they came up with for their cabal and used repeatedly in the self congratulation thread was just sickening. And it just gets snipped? Is it really not a big deal with anyone?

Lessons learned in this thread: Even using the word "jew" is anti-semitism, even if it isn't used in a hostile manner in any way, shape or form.

It's people like you who make the world a worse place to live in for everyone. Congratulations. May you be visited by braying donkeys.

Personally I think the best way to combat intolerance and derogatory terms is to put a humorous spin on them because once that happens, they lose that stigmatizing meaning and effect.

Threatening people with courses of actions of all kinds for using slurs in a cheeky way is just dumb.

Start a jew baiting thread and i will troll you, your mother and all your mothers lovers into the ground.

Love the excuses and pretending things aren't what they obviously are.

It's nice that we've come so far that anti-antisemitism and cultural stereotypes are just some hipster joke.

Ever realized that language changes over time? No amount of pouting on your part is going to prevent that.

I know. People really don't though.

I guess it's about time for Europe to figure that out again. And then forget. Again.

A forum for internet spaceships and still Jews are after the sympathy vote.

We've all seen the history channel, we've all read the textbooks, we all know why you're pissed off.

Let's just play spaceships and chill out.

It's just a game.

It’s hard to take accusations of anti-Semitism seriously nowadays since (unfortunately) they have basically become a synonym for anti-Zionism. Or just piss-poor ad hominem attempts by horrible people like Ben Stein. You can blame ones like him who misuse this term on a daily basis: You don’t agree with someone who has a Jewish background? You anti-Semite!

The reason for being offended by terms such as 'jewbal', etc., is that it represents a loss of power. When the general public was okay with jokes about the ***[1] in mainstream media, it indicated that the ***'s power and influence were no more.

With people throwing 'jew' around to indicate successful wealth creation, Jews as a whole are losing their "special" (for lack of a better term) status in history. It's human nature to resent a loss in status, even when it means society is moving beyond the initial cause of that status such as anti-semitism or the holocaust.

I think you're just latching on to the term that's most offensive to you. I've seen every insult & racial slur possible in this game, being called a jew is just one in the vast array of un-politically correct phrases that get thrown around. Just don't take it personally.

Damn nature, you scary!

Well, i for one am both enraged and outraged at the use of these religious slurs.

I demand you all quit eve immediately as self inflicted punishment, and give me all your stuff as compensation.
