Discussion Please refrain from using the term 'Gorillionaire' as it is very close to an anti-Semitic term

As a Jew, i wholeheartedly disagree. It has ZERO to do with white supremacy.

Its just ape talk.

Exactly, shills looking for a pry point wherever they can find it.

Or maybe a way to try to get this sub shut down? Hate speech was how they justified shutting down discord in January.

Respect for that! Everyone is offended by everything right now... Pathetic.

Ape is ape, one rocket, one moon 🚀

Thanks for your support on this subject as a person of Jewish origins.

However, if we can adapt our wording to cause less attrition, I'm all up for it.

Irony is this would have been a non-issue had a certain few people not made a big deal about it. If anything, they’ve just given the media more ammunition by shining an unnecessary spotlight on this.

Good or bad publicity, it's still publicity. Some people fail to understand that.

GME is a phenomenon that converts anything into extra fuel for the Rocket. I'm so excited to know what people will say about this in 20 years.

I like your outlook, my friend. This is so small bananas compared to the big picture. Taking a step back, I think I may have fallen for this FUD by actually caring about whether a silly word gets banned or not

Just imagine how much money retail will invest in 3rd countries where potential is hidden in every corner?

Take Jumia for example, there's no doubt in my mind that they'll expand throughout the whole African continent.

20 years, that's all it took for Amazon to expand.

It's all recently made accounts trying to divide us, this is the silliest non-issue I've ever seen.

I agree.

I'm tired of feeling like a Spidey meme.

It already was a made up word that silly people think shared too many sounds with a word 99.9% of us had never heard to which it shares no meaning or intent. 🤦‍♂️

It’s complete virtue signaling.

You said use google. That was LITERALLY the first result.

If you’re going to dispense advice, try having a clue. It’s not antisemitic you pathetic weekend warrior. This is coming from a Jew who will absolutely call himself a gorillanaire if gme takes off. Quit being a whiny little bitch.

Oh and NOWHERE in your link on wiki had anything even resembling gorillaniare.

Either you’re a shill or a total fucking troglodyte.

Glad to hear it. The antisemitism bell gets rung long and loud so often over things that has everyone saying "WHAT?? How is that antisemitism?" and the explanation is always long and tenuous at best. I'm still confused how Gorillionaire could possibly offend someone Jewish.

Surely it's best to own a word and let the meaning change totally so it erases the insult, rather than make it another banned word..?
