#Jew coded

Senshi is best Bubbe

I unironically view him as Jewish coded, and I feel the only reasons why are because the cooking music kind of sounds Jewish and because Tolkien's Dwarves (which obviously are major influences on all other dwarves that came after) are themselves inspired by Jews (and in a way that's a lot more respectful than you'd think while still not fetishizing them)

Shrek is absolutely convincingly Jewish and I promise you that Shrek 2 is an allegory for a Christian girl marrying a Jewish guy and converting.

this right here, this is proof I made the right decision to move her from Reddit, the people here are actually cultured!

Anyone else feel like we're shifting from the "no one supports Hamas" era to the "supporting Hamas isn't antisemitism" era? Like in terms of what antisemitic normies are willing to say on public platforms to Jews' faces.

Ugh, I got to talk with my rabbi again and getting to talk about Psalms and then g-d and why g-d decided to leave His nature open-ended and then about how I feel about am yisrael and how I now can't stop thinking, "these are my people" and why I have such a complex relationship with yisrael was honestly kind of healing. I also told him what my hebrew name will be and now two people in the world know it, and there's something special about that, too. There also isn't a word limit for the questions my beit din will ask because I was so scared that I would go over any word count tenfold (there's a questionnaire portion and I might have to write in some answers)

Give it up for my rabbi for being a champ for two hours straight while I was yapping away 😭

us specific post incoming, but: in the wake of the inauguration I've seen a couple of versions floating around tumblr at this point, and they're all well-meaning so I don't want to put this on the posts themselves, but:

if you find yourself compelled to make or spread versions/interpretations of the "first they came for" poem, just take a second to double check whether or not Jews are included.

The original version is very culturally specific to Germany and to German guilt/reconciliation post-WWII, and while the sentiments (of standing up for others before atrocities occur) are important and universal, the original intention and message are still important, especially as antisemitism rises in spaces across the political spectrum.

If we do not include Jewish people in our advocacy, we will be repeating the exact same conditions the original poem criticizes. It would be ironic in a very serious and unfunny way to be silent on the suffering of Jews while quoting a poem reckoning with the suffering Jewish people endured because of bystanders' silence.

Hm. I have dealt with antisemitic star trek fans, but given the times we live in and the recency of this post, as well as me not hearing of any recent major events about antisemitism in Trek fandom, let me check OPs blog real quick

Ah.

Anyway- DS9 intentionally paralleled the Occupation of Bajor with both the Holocaust and the Nakba, among other things, and one of the cast members who remarked on the similarity of Bajorans to Palestinians was Armin Shimerman, who is himself Jewish.

one of the most fun parts of the player perception of the draenei is no one can seem to agree what specific irl country they could be based on, but at the very least everyone has vaguely agreed that its somewhere eastern european or indian. very varied region there but somehow the draenei are in that area lol

Watching the presidents of Penn State and Harvard hang themselves publicly has been eye-opening.

Btw I will stop making almost all my characters Jewish the day Jewish names stop being so universally cool

Friendly reminder, for those who've forgotten, Nerdy/Keppie is Vaspide'rs business, and if you've decided that their takes on this whole genocide business are worth not platforming them on other issues, some of you may also find yourselves disinclined to support them financially.

I have literally no stakes one on the other on what anyone decides, because they've never gotten my money before and WERE never going to get it.

But I also know the brand itself has differentiated beyond the person and some who actually do feel they have an opinion may genuinely not have known and may find the reminder valuable for their own happiness.
