Makes me sad to see people acting like the simple act of saying "Jews" is offensive. We survived thousands of years of persecution, the fucking holocaust, and you think this is where we draw the line? Come the fuck on lol.
Really stupid question, but is the term “Jew(s)” derogatory in any way when referring to Jewish people(s), or should one say “Jewish person/people”?
Jew is the correct word to refer to a member of the Jewish faith. I don't think anyone would suggest that it was derogatory unless they themselves were hateful toward Jews. It's kind of like how people who hate Americans use the term "Americans" hatefully.
Ok that’s what I thought, thanks!
You got it boss
That is technically true, though the dynamic of pointing at and labelling a minority who have historically been subject to persecution is its own message on top of that. As usual, context is everything, and this meme depends on the reader being aware of the history of Jews being singled out for persecution for its transgressive frisson.
if it makes you feel any better, i downvoted both of you (but this one is better because it seems to depict actual items, and not ai generated nonsense)
I'm sorry, friend! When I looked at this post, I thought it would be funnier if it was spelled like "jhoes." I guess this one performed better because it eased people into it whereas you outright went there.
I think it's because he just did the wordplay and didn't ask "our opinion on" jhoes, which raises the jhoish question.
Maybe don't use AI to make your memes next time and see what kind of response you get

I mean, it’s not inciting hatred towards or promoting any negative stereotypes about Jews, is it?
Sorry buddy, you said that word jew. That's antisemitic.
I agree, plus it's a well made pun.
If people call anything that mentions Jews as antisemitism then I think this counts
Antijemitism
Jeantisemitism
If saying neutral or even nice things about Jews is antisemitism, I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
It is not, relax
Reminds me of a friend of a friend who thought calling people Mexican was racist.
I think the use of this particular meme format implies that asking the question is ridiculous. So I think he's saying it's not.
those are jeakers sorry OP
Joes, Gods chosen people
God’s chosen footwear
No, those are janclas
Is that a scotch?
Jods*
Yeah I was gonna but it seemed a little on the nose
Joes?
I get the joke. I just don't get how "Jews" comes from J + "shoes" without forcing the spelling, which is what I'm pointing out.
Phonetics
In fairness, English phonetics is just a dozen languages' phonetics in a trench coat fighting about which way to go.

Are you saying this as a Jew or as a vampire? Or as a Jewish vampire? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HAom8ws8qp4
Judaism and vampirism have a lot in common.
When you factor in the blood libel, the connection goes even deeper.
Also the fangs. /borat

If you don't mind, we are preferred to be called "The Chosen People".
Where do mods draw the line, tho?
Somewhere beyond "offensive".
That's subjective and I'm asking where do mods draw that subjective line
This is anti-sneakerism.
Hey!
I did it first and got TORCHED
https://lemmy.world/post/12962791
Well you didn't call them jews tho
Because it’s way too on the nose!
Nose! Is that antisemitism?
Ah crap. The torching resumes lol
Torching? Now that's antisemitic for sure.

Obviously, but spelling

You got me lol!
This was my reaction exactly. Scroe the haters.
Only when they’re sloppy
Shews
Shoos
That one’s spicy.
Why?
You ever had a jew in your mouth?
well, my last girlfriend was jewish.
Okay, time to wrap it up. This was the peak
We had a good run.
What if we ran with the Jews on?

Then whoever finishes the race would literally be worse than Hitler.
As long as you don't spill juice on them.

I always knew this was the inevitable conclusion of this series of posts
"Go on."
"...no. I sense I've made a mistake of some kind."
Saving this post to see how long it takes to get censored/taken down.
not sure why this wouldn't follow the standard naming convention and be "joes".
Because that would be pronounced differently, wouldn't it.
no
Are those the ones with the Hasbara insole, so on fleek.
