    It’s only about you because you made it about you.

    “Ghoul” is not a slur. You saying that seeing an unpleasant word next to a word that reminds you of anime is at all equivalent to a slur is frankly ghastly of you.

    You’d almost have a leg to stand on if they changed it to “Captain Weeaboo” or something, but even then the comparison is a stretch. You’re showing up at somebody’s funeral to say “I scraped my knee, that’s bad too! We’re all equal as humans, so I deserve to speak”.

    Grow up.

      As I said in another post this was only a demonstration that people can read and interpret negative meaning in every combination of words if they really want to. I even gave the definition why “Ghoul” can be read in a negative way, but yeah it is easier to pull the conversation down to the ad hominem level like you did.

      So in that regard was my little demonstration really successful, way more so then I intended.

      To be honest, I don’t care at all what they use as a funny wordplay, Moe Ghoul is even funnier than the older choice in my eyes. But my personal opinion about it is irrelevant, sorry that I have one.

      I really think we should end the conversation here, because I already tried to end it with the nice weekend.
