  wow really? it couldnt imply racism? why do you jump straight to mental illness? unless you think racism is a mental illness

  if you look at a goblin and automatically think “Jewish” you might have a problem

  you can stop lying now

        We can all see your comments and are very insensitive. I wouldn’t have banned you over them but I see why a hexbear mod would.

    i wish we had a “boredly jerking off” emoji bc that’s what this deserves in response

    yes that would be true, if that was what was happening here. since you’re obviously incapable of learning this will be a waste of time but here’s some articles talking about the issue

    since i know you probably won’t bother i’m just going to quote some relevant bits from the last article

    “Critics assert that the goblins, who control Gringotts bank within JK Rowling’s beloved wizarding world, resemble the caricatures depicted in the antisemitic 1903 book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. […] [T]he goblins’ appearance and profession parallel offensive antisemitic stereotypes such as having large, hooked noses and a particular covetousness for gold and money.

    The game also includes a description of a special horn that closely resembles the Jewish shofar, which was used in the lore “during the 1612 Goblin Rebellion to rally troops and generally annoy witches and wizards,”

    Critics were quick to also note that, coincidentally or not, the year 1612 coincides with The Fettmilch Uprising, a Jewish pogrom in Germany in which Jews were expelled from the city of Frankfurt. Although the uprising first began in 1612, Jews were only actually expelled in 1614.”

        not knowing things doesn’t make you a terrible person. however, if you choose to continue defending a blatantly hateful property in a franchise created by a bigot now that you know better, then yeah people would be justified in calling you a piece of shit
