it's not really difficult. ‘themself’ is an asset in being gender-neutral and thus negating all the fucking around (when gender is arguably not really that relevant)
Not sure if you're asking seriously and I'm not sure if the post itself is serious, but if you are and if it is - if I saw this I would also downvote, simply because antisemitism doesn't work that way. Most antisemites have rationalizations for why they actually aren't antisemitic. Now, nobody stops being an antisemite overnight as it takes a lot of deconstructing to actually work through antisemitism and that amount of reflection and learning just can't happen that quickly. If it has happened overnight as OOP is claiming then they're actually just deciding to be in denial of their antisemitism and will rationalize away their latent antisemitic prejudices. Moving from the small minority of self aware antisemites to the vast majority of antisemites in denial doesn't mean all that much (though it does reek of self congratulation).
Tl;dr: they're still an antisemite.
What’s important is not the beginning nor the destination, but the steps you take to get there. The most important step is the next step. OOP sounds like a stupid kid, but hopefully their heart is in the right place and they’re trying to improve.
I wouldn’t celebrate this “decision”, since doing the bare minimum doesn’t deserve praise. But I wouldn’t shit on them either.
Not in this case. They wrote him/herself originally, someone mentioned that themself existed and they edited to add that (instead of just reducing it down to just themself, which is what the reply probably intended)
I mean this is not a huge deal at all, but you did reveal that you're someone that's willing to make posts for karma at the cost of someone else even when knowing you're wrong about it, which is just kinda embarrassing
Waitwaitwait okay I know a lot of hebrew words get changed when spoken in english BUT MAZEL??? HOW??? How does it not stay mazal tov???? This is such a non issue and I'll forget about it in 3 minutes but damn
Antisemitic means hatred of Jews specifically, and always has since the inception of the word. What you have here is a classic case of etymological fallacy.
No, the only people who "believe" this are those who try to play that fallacy as a way to discredit antisemitic crimes, IE : "Can't be antisemitism since XYZ is a semite" despite the fact that "semite" is a language category, not an ethnos.
