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".

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.
