ah ok! basically im v v uncomfortable w you not being jewish/romani/etc & using hitler in a comedic usage, esp being very flippant about it. 'hitler is boring, poop jokes, etc. i feel like hitler is used a lot to represent a Very Bad Person, in a careless way, but there are people who deny the holocaust, or say he had redeeming traits, or say we should just get over the holocaust, etc. so obv all people dont see him as that bad. and using it in that comedic sense kind of diminishes the severity of what was done? as well as lets all of the other people/forces involved in the holocaust off the hook. it makes it seem like it was just hitler and it wasnt. like, if you were someone who was impacted by the holocaust, it would be different, but since you’re very removed from it, i feel that it’s not really your place to be making those jokes. i know you didn’t mean any harm, but it’s too serious a topic to be used in such a flippant manner. ty.

you are absolutely, absolutely right - that was incredibly inappropriate of me. i’m not gonna use “i was drunk” as an excuse bc 1. that is not an excuse and 2. i vaguely remember even thinking at the time “mmmmmaybe i shouldn’t” but for whatever reason i went ahead with it anyway. there really just isn’t any excuse and i’m extremely sorry, and further than that i’m sorry that i didn’t recognize and apologize for the problem before having it brought up to me.

it’s not going to happen again. unfortunately i can’t edit posts but i can either delete that particular update in the quest or ask a mod to edit it, or i can leave it up for accountability purposes. thank you for taking the time to keep me in line on this, and again, i really apologize for how poorly i behaved in regards to this.
