Wait, people are sheep for not knowing about this until it was actively promoted? Or they're sheep for finding it offensive? They're a sheep for jumping on the attack band wagon, when the game has been around awhile now and no one said anything until one person brought it up. I'm going to repeat exactly what I just said below. I saw the ad on my flist in the promo communities for a while, and it always made me cringe, but I didn't say anything, despite being Jewish and it pinging on a part of my cultural history. You know why? Because there's so much racial, sexist, homophobic shit out there, it's not only my Jewish, queer and feminist identities that get pinged constantly--no one is able to react to all of it. 1- I'm not a member of the Asylum Promo comm. Although, I used to be. Read the comment over again, I'm not saying ANYTHING about offensive so drop that line of crap right now. This HAS BEEN actively promoted and it seems all of a sudden one day, a load of people are like, HOLY GOD YOU'RE EVIL. I'm not saying anything about anyone in general, frankly, I'm indifferent, but really, take a look at the comment number and realize that it seems people jumped on this because other people were on this. I'm saying it because I heard about it last night - as did most of us posting today. I'm sorry that my bat-signal didn't tingle when the game first showed up; my Special Snowflake Antisemitism Radar is still in the shop for the month. People replied because they found the name of the community offensive. The fact that there's more than one of us, and that many of us learned about it from people who were offended, does not make it less offensive. It also doesn't make us sheep. Again, you fail to see my point - there ARE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY HAD SEEN IT REPEATEDLY AND JUST NOW COMMENTED. Yes, that makes them sheep in my opinion. I'm not saying EVERYONE, I'm saying a fair amount, a small amount, WHOEVER saw this posted daily and chose now as the time to express their concern. This game has been jumped on, and to be quite honest, we're not neo-Nazis or anything of the sort, the mods are nice people and no one hates the Jewish. In fact, I myself have Jewish relatives - my Grandmother's surname was Horowitz. The point is exactly as I had stated. People did jump on and basically admit it and all of this was entirely unnecessary, as in the FAQ there is a place to comment the mods if the name was bothersome. |
