if ur not jewish its within ur best interest to say “jewish people” instead of “jews”

Chanukah foods from around the world

[goysmack]

goys and gelts how are we feeling.

[goysmack]

if you’re a gentile writing a jewish character and all you’ve done w/them to show that is to have them say ‘i’m jewish’... you’re doing it wrong. we know y’all are seeing/using judaism as something ‘quirky’ for your character that you don’t actually care about. lmao.

[goysmack]

caricatures / tropes

so, lets talk about caricatures of jews and antisemitic tropes. some of these will be physical and some of these will mindsets regarding how jewish people act, etc. these are things you obviously want to avoid. so. here we go. it should be noted that not all physical characteristics are inherently antisemitic by themselves, but a lot of the features used, or are placed 2gether to make the caricatures. there are more caricatures / tropes than listed here, but these are the most common ones / the ones i see a lot.

caricatures are usually intentional - but with tropes, i think it’s a little more complex. most gentiles probably, to a certain extent, don’t realize they’re falling into these tropes. and having a character with certain traits found in a trope doesn’t mean you’re falling into that trope - just be cautious. if you DO decide to write a character that falls into these tropes.. uh. i mean idk why you would but if you do, you better make it nuanced as hell.

green skin - the use of green skin to make caricatures of jews has roots in nazism. the coloring with green skin was meant to make jews look sickly. why green? green is associated with toads, snakes, demons, and posions. 

“jewish nose” - y’all know what this is. noses that are downturned and hooked and often exaggerated/classified as large. jewish noses have been used as a caricature since the 13th century, and it was used a lot in nazi propaganda as well.

devil horns/tails - yeah don’t associate jewish characters to demons lol

jewish mother - a mother is loud, overbearing, and smothering and always in her child’s business. also portrayed as emotionally manipulative and controlling of her children. 

nice jewish boy - when a boy is nice, gentle, and timid - however, this is used to portray him as weak and being cowardly. this trope is used in ways that often show jewish men don’t have qualities considered to be ‘exciting’ and are just Nice and Bland. 

 jewish american princess - jewish women are spoiled, selfish, materialistic, and rich. is usually highly manipulative and guilts others and expects the world. also they’re vain as hell. 

greedy / cheapskate jew or jewish lawyer - jewish individuals are greedy, dishonest, complain about spending money and spend as little as possible, and exploit other people (usually for money). jewish lawyers share the same characteristics, but this time, they’re lawyers.  

[murdershegoat]

my favorite jewish fact is that our most famous ghost, elijah the prophet, isnt a ghost because that dude straight up never died.

[murdershegoat]

jews: let’s welcome the ghost of elijah into our homes

elijah:

[leonordchoem]

a celebrity: *is funny*

me: *googles ‘[celebrity name] jewish’*

[goysmack]

HEY UH, IT’S ME AGAIN, THAT LOSER FROM GOYIMGUIDE.  SAME CONCEPT - GOYSMACK IS HERE TO EDUCATE U GENTILES IN THE RPC CAUSE.. YIKES.

[thekosheraisle]

[goysmack]

gentiles be like:   can you eat that?

[goysmack]

alright goys and gelts here’s how this works: 

y’all can ask me whatever. if there’s a broad topic y’all want me to cover in it’s own post i’ll do that. if you even think about being antisemitic i’m telling everyone your fingernails are dirty. i don’t have my resource pages up rn because i remade this like ten minutes ago. you can also check out the old blog @goyimguide for previously discussed topics and informative posts, and i’ll be reblogging those here within the next couple of days.

[goysmack]

also there are no dumb questions i’d rather y’all ask rather than go do some tomfoolery.

Any tips for writing a character that's ethnically Jewish, but went through a period of resenting religion?

i think there’s a lot of things you have to ask yrself. like, why do they resent religion? that’s the biggest once. like, since they grew up in a christian centric society did it make them ashamed their culture/religion, and that’s why it turned into resentment? (this is common, and i had a period of this myself, but it was more people being antisemitic towards me and my religion that made me dissociate myself from religion as a whole). another thing is that: is the resentment still there? or are they trying to reconnect to their religion? or are they just apathetic and dissociate from religion now, feeling very indifferent towards it (religion as a concept) as a whole? 

the only real “advice” i can give you is to avoid the “self hating jew” trope (if y’all don’t know, self hating jew is a jew that hates their religion and holds antisemitic views because of it… i feel like i shouldn’t have to elaborate on why this is bad, y’all feel me?). of course, there’s a difference between resenting religion as a whole and resenting your religion – and it’s important to not slip into antisemitism while your character was going thru a period of being antireligious.  we are told to be ashamed of religion, and while it is very hard to come back from that, and it takes time, it is possible – there still might be relapses where your character feels shame, or self hatred, because unlearning hatred is harder than learning it. 

with being ethnically jewish (there are multiple ethnic jewish groups, like just in case you didn’t know and i’m gonna make a post / answer an ask about it in a minute mwah), there’s some traditions that are there and that you’re taught within yr community (if you have one, if your character is from a place where judaism is not rare, or if your family is actively practicing, raised your character to be practicing / aware / etc) that your character was probably raised with, and it’s important to be aware of the traditions that your character would try to distance themselves from during this period, or which ones are just. deeply rooted as a part of who they are and the things they don’t associate with religion, but with their day to day life & who they are & just their habits. 

in the end, a lot of it is circumstantial and you have to take in your character’s relationship w/judaism as a religion and as a culture as well as it being their ethnicity. but: avoid the self hating jew, learn about the ethic division your character belongs in & see how these traditions would effect the character growing up, and then how they would reconnect with their religion (if they want to, if they don’t, that’s fine).
