I always found it so weird that Nintendo AMERICA calls the Christian holidays by generic names, "Bunny Day" and "Toy Day", but Nintendo Japan actually just calls them Christmas and Easter.
But now I realized why... Nintendo America doesn't want to set off the jews.
Don't just read the main post... some of the shit this loon goes on with in the comments is hilarious.
Dozens of my family members were literally murdered because they didn't celebrate Christmas by people who do celebrate Christmas.
Were you brought up as an athiest, or were you brought up t do you practice a religion that Christianity has meant oppression to you & your culture / people? Are you a mfmber of a marginalized community?
So you are saying instill Christian supremacy. Got it. Great take.
Im "mental" (an ableist term) for not wanting Christian supremacy shoved at me and everyone else non-Christian?
How dare you tell a minority...who happens to be a minority within a minoriry...that their pain is not valid. Would you say that to another minority when their cultural items were appropriated & desecrated...and then a supersessionist holiday was shoved down their throat?
You were talking about my personal bias...ie me not being Christian and not celebrating Christmas. You were being antisemetic. You are part of a dominant culture. Why don't you listen instead of attacking people who are different from you & hurting because of this forced holiday in game.
You pinning a CHRISTian holiday...CHRISTmas...on non-CHRISTian people is supersessionism and is racist. If you read my whole statement, which clearly you didn't, I said I was Jewish. Forcing JEWS to participate in CHRISTmas is antisemetic.
My mind is absolutely blown at the lack of awareness and cultural sensitivity amongst players...and the developets of this game. To brush znything off as stupid or silly...to be dismissive is to be willfully ignorant & part of the problem. It is not just a game...as any player knows how important this game is to them. When it hurts you because it is racially or culturally harmful to you & other people, it's time to speak up & stand up for others, not dismiss them.
And last but not least... this person was apparently working with Nintendo of America ITSELF through the ADL, and is pissy that Nintendo refused to listen to her demand to remove Christmas:
I literally worked with the ADL and Nintendo USA for 2 months (July & August) on this issue. I could give names & phone numbers of the programmers & supervisors who were supposed to fix this AND other cultural appropriation issues that occur in game that are flat out racist. They went ahead anyway. We were hoping for a last minute fix. It didn't come.
How dare you tell a minority...who happens to be a minority within a minoriry...that their pain is not valid. Would you say that to another minority when their cultural items were appropriated & desecrated...and then a supersessionist holiday was shoved down their throat?
I wonder what 'minority within a minority' he is or is pretending to be.
Look at this gem of a comment of someone who replied to her after she said that
" You are absolutely right. I can’t imagine how frustrating and discouraging that must be. I am sorry I did not realize how much you invested in trying to work with Nintendo. You certainly seem to be someone who stands up for their beliefs. All the best. "
yes because putting tons of work in to bullying and harassing others to try to force other country's and other culture's games(that you seem to think you have some ownership over), to have to adhere to YOU, is so brave and stunning right?
This behavior is actually really really gross
its like going to some indian temple or playing their games and getting mad that it celebrated Diwali . or in her case what if you played some israeli game and then getting mad it had jewish festivals in the game .Would she like that?
There's a picture of her in her post history.... she's white. Imagine if her rant was framed as a white woman rant, then I'm positive she wouldn't have received that reply. She'd just be called a crazy "Karen".
I tried looking for any place where this guy indicates that he is a Jew. Most likely, he is an atheist trying to use Jews as a shield for his own agenda. It could be that he is a Jew whose religion is social justice. Cause he's crazy.
I am ALL FOR allowing people who celebrate Christmas
Wow, we have your permission to celebrate Christmas? Thanks Master.
However...and you would have to be non-Christian / another religion to get this: being forced for over a month of we play this game to participate in someone else's religious festivities is a form of supremacy & it hurts.
If you are 'hurt' by Christmas, maybe you deserve to be hurt.
That is decorating our island for Christmas without our consent...
I am detecting a whiff of sarcasm here. Possibly a really good /pol/ fake here. Usually they are obvious, but in this case it was at least somewhat possible. I think if it were a /pol/ fake, they would have really upplayed the Jewish aspects more than happened here.
approximately BCE
Dude...
though ACNH is guilty of cultural appropriation & racism all over the place).
Then don't play.
Just because it's blue & white doesn't mean Chanukkah. To say that is antisemetic.
Calling everything anti-Semitic and misspelling the word in the process? Has quite a smell.

Still a lot of stupid shit being said by others there though, like:
Alright and people in my community are also opressed by christians and have been murdered in the name of christianity. But there's a big difference in celebrating the birth of christ and decorating a tree that early christians stole from pagan cultures.
Yeah people are murdered and oppressed by a lot of ideologies over the years, I guess we can never use or celebrate anything derived from an oppressive historical culture or society.... so, nothing. Funny how no one ever talks about Muslims and Islam "stealing from pagans", even though they supplanted paganism the same way Christians did.
I'd bet that if Nintendo decided to include Hannukah they would be mad about it being commodified, and how the suffering of their ancestors was being downplayed by the cute style of the game. They're so hyperbolic they'd probably throw out holocaust denial.
No one's forcing this person to celebrate, even in game. Just as in real life, this person can simply not participate in the Christmas stuff. I guarantee the villagers don't kill the player if they don't participate.

And that does so for completely non-religious reasons, to boot.
I’m betting this asshat wants the game to be “localized” to remove it.
And a culture that actually has a history of oppressing and persecuting Christians brutally within the last century.
Its amusing how little they know about history.

Whatever disagreements we have, I always appreciate that you never fail to do the utmost to ensure the preservation of our communities.
God I love the stack. 50% of the world’s population is somehow a minority.
What if we added Saturnalia instead ;').

Certainly will be ""White"" when convenient and "Jewish " when convenient.
Harassing people is really hard work.
I'd fucking laugh if they forced everyone into celebrating their holidays.
Without fail, there's one angry athiest Jew in most towns and cities that loudly complains about having to celebrate Christmas.
These people proudly support sodomny and all other kinds of perversions but always seem to find the time to get offended at Christmas.
Are we sure this isn’t a Poe?
This nutcase actually used that as a reply to someone telling him he was being biased and ignoring Japanese culture.
I’m surprised to see pushback, albeit gentle and still overly accepting of this nonsense
Look way too consistent with a long account history to be a poe. Also seems to know an awful lot about the minutia of jewish traditions.

This hits so many in just one statement.
Meanwhile, if it were no food consumption during Ramadan, he'd probably think it was "beautiful" and "inclusive", or some shit.
Mewanwhile, if he's so Jewish, he's free to move to Israel and only do Jew things and play draedle all day.
Its a real account , speaks with great detail about things, and a lot of other Jews also support her in the comment section
Not Christian, don't give a fuck.
Doesn't surprise me, women are more likely to be neurotic - and this specimen is extremely neurotic, as you no doubt have seen.

Retard Pecking Order is a fantastic band name
Call it Yule and watch them really seethe.
Oh my fucking god, it should just be called Christmas as it's literally the default holiday.
This is why regressive leftists need to be cleansed from the Jewish population as they just fuel antisemitism by pulling crap such as this.
Pogroms for Progressives?

Oh look, a voluntary Sonderkomando.
Fuck off you weak pussy, useless, pussy.

They're the animals.
It's popular.
Remove normalfags.
I think it's the same as My Little Pony... manchildren who can't grow up so they play kids' games and yell at people.
Its popular and easy, and the cutesy aesthetic appeals to their performative lifestyle.
Furries tend to like Animal Crossing.
