Has to be where you live. Around here, I never hear the word "Jew" as an insult, except from the owner of my apartment complex, who is an old world anti-semite and reads the "Barnes Review" and tries to get other people to read it and believes in this huge, Jewish conspiracy. He's nuts, and pretty much no one else…

I'll just see myself out...

My ancestors left Europe to escape racism, only to be labeled as racist for something that someone else's ancestors did a century before they got here. I know that as a white male cis scum I have no right to complain, but it still seems kind of racist.

I miss you, Hal...

That would probably be for the same reason that John Stewart gets a free pass for it and for the same reason Dave Chapelle can get away with making provocative jokes about black people. Scandalous humor is always much more acceptable when it's coming from someone belonging to the people who are the target of the joke.

Fair enough I suppose. Though I've never been a big fan of the whole 'don't label yourself' philosophy. By that I mean, the people who are like, "Don't think of yourself as a man or a Jew or an American, just as a Human." I don't really think thinking of myself as any of those things are mutually exclusive and I…

Once people start incorporating religion into anything, it never takes long for it to be taken completely out of control, and especially when it's in a field where you need to get as much of a customer base as you can, singling out particular religions and turning people off from it is not the way to go... Someone's…

I really couldn't care less if the zombies I nuke are Jewish or not.

"Despite the game's questionable name and content, its stealth mechanics were serious. The game's inventory system would have been similar to that of Resident Evil or Silent Hill, with all items laid out on a grid, but with a strategic element to their organization. Players would have to be careful what items them put…

As a Jew and as a gamer, the lack of Jewish protagonists in the games I play has never come to mind. It's never been a topic I've even considered. However, after reading this article I tried to think of a single main character in any game that is specifically stated to be Jewish and I don't think I can think of one.…

I don't believe in any god and I'm damn glad most protagonists don't actually show any trait of religion. I wouldn't mind playing a Jewish character and play a game that explores the religion (while having an interesting story), actually, that would be very cool, but if somebody asked me the world would be better if…

I still don't understand when calling people "jews" as an insult started or why its so popular. Granted alot of times its a kid or teen saying "Your such a jew!" or "Gonna rape you jew!". Why isn't any other people as a insult? Even the N*g.. word I hear less now. SO confusing.

This is... well, I won't pretend I'm offended. I've certainly made more offensive Jewish jokes—it was something of a rite of passage at my (Jewish) high school—and the "Jews sure do like money!" stereotype is so trite and boring that it'd take a lot more than that to get me angry. (And, really, who doesn't like…

Still, as a self-identified "pretty big Jew"

religion has no place in video games, unless your god is a dragon or something

Jews do not, "own most of the film studios". That is anti-Semitic propaganda. Most film studios are owned by publicly traded companies. If you have a retirement account, you might own part of a film studio.

I thought Eva made more use of Christian mythology. I mean, you're talking about the wandering Jew and the spear of Longinus, right? Those would be aspects of Christian mythology I believe.

I think the reason we don't see a lot of Jews in video games is the same reason we don't see a lot of explicitly identified Christians or Muslims either: religion, in a video game, is rarely relevant or important.

It really bugs me when people think they're being stereotypical or groundbreaking, and they're really just kinda being... well, assholes. They're presenting more stereotyping and saying "no, no, it's funny, so it's satire!" even though it's identical to sexism/racism/whatever.

Games are designed to be fun. A person of every age can have fun. Why should grown men only enjoy challenging or brutal games, and not those simply created to be fun? "Grownups should wear suites and ties and refrain from stuff that's not meant for them", what a smug attitude. Remember that todays society and its…
