having fun constantly defending the shitty antisemitic wizard game hun?
"Constantly" is a misnomer. Check your sources on that one and get back to me.
The only thing that seems antisemitic to me is the fact that so many of you keep making the association that goblins = jewish people and that this game has goblins in it so that makes it antisemitic. That means your beloved DnD and other fantasy settings are alao antisemetic by that logic. Kinda a weird thing to keep perpetuating a harmful stereotype if you're so heavily against it.
This association has roots in the middle ages (a pretty bad time to be anyone not Christian, even worse to be Jewish) and more recently, has its modern roots in WWII nazi Germany. The middle ages is also where the term "blood libel" that the other anon used so Ineloquently and incorrectly, comes from. Goblins themselves though have been around in folklore for a while and then people associated jewish people with them. If any of you actually cared about this topic you'd understand why throwing around these kinds of words(like idk, think of any other slur) is harmful, but you just want to shit on Rowling and that's fine but she had nothing to do with this game's creation and that's a fact that you can verify if you so choose.
Shitting on someone is not the same as uplifting those they hurt. This isn't activism either, so stop pretending that it is. Hatred is an easy, no-cost game, but actually helping people? Protesting? Donating to organizations? Thats harder, which is why you're in my ask box with such nonsense.
I don't even like harry potter all that much but i can't stand blatant misinformation by people who feel like they need excuses to hate something. If you hate it, great, ask yourself why, not because you're wrong but to check yourself and make sure you're actually understanding this hill you want to die on. But don't invent false truths to fit some sort of narrative you've come up with that "proves" you're a decent human being for thinking racism or transphobia or antisemitism or something is wrong. That's the bare minimum in my view.
Have a nice day 👌
