I’m pretty sure I’ve played FFX for like 10 hours today. I lost track of time around 9 and just realized it’s almost 1. Wow.

patchesthegreat asked: goddammit, it's about context. This "why can't I use Holocaust" debate shouldn't even be happening, because it reduces the severity of what happened to the millions of people killed in the Holocaust . Tainos were butchered by the Spanish, but I'm not going to call it "the Taino Holocaust" because I understand the difference in two separate events and the importance of remembering them and grieving them separately and individually.
pyromantix asked: Oh, OH.Let’s just forget about the North and South American Holocaust that’s been going on for about 400 hundred years. NO BIG DEAL.
Are you talking about the systematic genocide of Native Americans?
If you’re trying to charge me with erasure, I’m going to call bullshit. There is no mention of those horrendous acts because that wasn’t the subject (about the misuse of the term Holocaust). Does this count as a derail?
What if Wario Land is objectivist propaganda

Anonymous asked: Because you are part Jewish, how do you feel about the Israel/Palestine thing? Generally speaking, radicals support Palestine, and I am curious as to where you stand.
I should mention I am “fully” Jewish because both my parents are. I only mention my mother because that’s the “rule” as far as I know it.
Radicals support Palistine? So most of the world is radical since they recognize Palistine as a sovereign state? I don’t think so.
What the state of Israel does to the Palistinian people is horrendous and fuelled by paranoia and hate. I do not support it at all.
eastafrodite asked: Lol, white Gentiles who just up until 20 some odd years ago classified homosexuality as a mental disroder are supposed to define what a Holocaust is for you? Tumblr is such an embarrassment.
But I’m ~oppressing them~ by saying they can’t use I term in a way I find offensive. This is America haven’t you heard of ~~~freedom of speech~~~
salvationismyname asked: You seem really knowledgable about offensive/derogatory language, so I was wondering if the word homosexual is considered derogatory at all? My UW Madison speech textbook (printed in 2010 or so) said many gays and lesbians consider it to be derogatory I've never heard any non straight person (myself included) object to being called that and I was wondering if it is offensive at all or if my professor was just wrong/misguided/making shit up haha
I haven’t heard anyone say “homosexual” is offensive, this is news to me haha.
What part of “don’t use it, use genocide instead” don’t y’all get?
Also, I’m aware “goyim” is a pretty offensive term, but if you don’t show me respect then I won’t show you any respect either.
