"Jew" as abbreviation for Jeweller's Orb

So in order to find the abbreviation offensive, not only do you need to drop the context - it's obviously an abbreviation for "Jeweller's" - but you also need to be offended by the mere mention of religious terminology.

that is offensive because of a historical fact: African Americans were initially sold as slaves.
so this term - as is - was used a century ago, in an entirely different context.

edit: think it wasn't my best idea to escalate the discussion that much ...

it's just that i never use the abbreviation myself and think it was wrong for ggg to let go on corecting that after game release.

I'll do even better, and give you 10 mexicans if you change your mind.

See?

I don't find the abbreviation offensive personally, but it's not so ridiculous as people suggest that some people might.

No, it's a racial slur. Therefore not comparable.

My God this PC shit needs to stop.

Its a fucking game that has statues of women showing all sorts of things, it has dead bodies pilled up all over the place and references to piety being a whore and you want to complain because the natural abbreviation for Jeweller's Orb is jew? Could people use jewel as an abbreviation, no because there are fucking jewels in the game....




Using a term that is clearly offensive is much different then using an abbreviation that shares an abbreviation for a religious group. Another prime example of how religion truly are the source of all conflict in this world.

The word jewel/jeweller came into being from the market manipulation and near dominance of jews in the gem and jewelry industry.


Shortening/abbreviating words happens all the time, deal with it.


This isn't true at all, the term jewel comes from the old French word joel and has now relation to the Jewish people at all.

Here's a fun exercise for you:
Why do you think the words "Slav" and "Slave" are so similar?

By a phonetic coincidence?
