this random year, chosen for this minor bit of lore in a video game, corresponds with a real world anti-Jewish event
Pick any date in the last two thousand years and someone, somewhere, was sick of their shit. That’s what happens when you pathologically subvert and attack the majority demographic everywhere you go.
I thought for a moment they were complaining that Jews had horns, not used them. Because I hear "goblin horns" and just think "horned goblins". And I was just trying to figure out what kind of advanced antisemitism was involved in making a game lore element be chopping off Jews' horns, when I realized they meant a trumpet.
Every society with any level of advancement has used horns/whistles to signal with sound. It's hardly unique to any one. Maybe the Norsemen from north Netherlands would like to weigh in, they used horns before Judaism was even a thing.
~50% of the donations to the Dems are from Jews just as an example. They are pro-Jew from the top-down, but it doesn't always manifest down the ranks cleanly thanks to their coalition of ethnocentric minorities. Philo-semitic conservatives exploit this to label the left as anti-Semitic in an attempt to dissuade right-leaning gentiles from questioning Jewish power.
I think this is part of the 'keep politics out of gaming' thing I keep hearing. Not just from the right, but the left really should take that advice too.
Some bozos are going to put two and two together because of fiction, and start attributing that to the real world. What they're doing is grouping things together that kinda sorta sound like something, but was never meant or intended to be.
If the intent was to actually do that, the similarities would be much worse and more accurate than just something happened on the same year, and they also like money, are not all that tall, and have long goblin-like noses. I'm willing to go ahead and assume that lots of people have larger noses, are short, and like money, who are not jewish.
Look at the original Brian Froub goblin art for the movie Labyrinth and you'd think most of those goblins were all jewish allegories too. Even though ... they're just goblins, and it's fiction. We should not be comparing real life to fiction. I cannot stress this enough.
Sometimes things like this are just based on lore in the setting that it's meant for. The more you start comparing that to real life, the more you're mixing things that were not meant to be. Fiction is just fiction. It's not supposed to be real. Sure sometimes a stereotype lines up like this, but it doesn't mean anything.
This is just another in a long line of things that really is nothing, and is hyped up because someone thinks it's something.
I also think the game is getting unfairly targeted because the franchise's creator said something, and now people dislike everything that person has done. Despite the fact that said person had nothing to do with the game. But will likely take royalties from it, so I guess that's a thing to be mad at.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be wearing a shirt made on the other side of the planet, using my phone to make an order from amazon, and think to myself that I am a perfect human being for taking a stand here and now because it's convenient for me to do so, and I get to point out how virtuous I am compared to others.

Beat me to it. Simple probability.
What's that saying? If everyone you meet is an asshole, it's actually you who is the asshole.
The Jews were the only people to ever use horns?

In Hogwarts Legacy, I believe it's called a jewvuvzela.
It's God's vuvuzela.
These people are children in every sense except their age, they'll never get better. https://youtu.be/7B2LPxggvqY?t=9
I forget are the left pro Jew now or anti as I swear it flips faster than pancake with them!

Saying that, I'm trying to thing of ANY group they wouldn't backstab to get ahead.
I'm drawing a blank there, in history, these are the guys you put in the front:
All I can say is: Oy vey!

Woke activists: “How dare you play a game that so blatantly insults the ‘hyperwhite’?”
