And I quote,
World Factbook Entry: "The Third Reich is a large, powerful region, renowned for the complete absence of Jews, homos, Negroes, communists, gypsies and various other asocials. Its population are ruled with an iron fist by the National Socialist government, which oppresses anyone who isn't a racially pure Aryan. The party devotes most of its attentions to military spending while areas such as racial equality receive almost no funds by comparison. The regions national animal is der ewige Jude, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread Aryanisation."

A lot of their members have odd, if not offensive, names, and somehow a few of them got throught an innocent region. Hmmmm. Which has an ex-mod residing in it. odd.

And yet, there's nothing horribly offensive besides perhaps the last line. Quite frankly, I'm not sure exactly what is offensive about claiming "The Eternal Jew" is in danger of extinction due to Aryanism. Seems to me that is a possible scenario. Nothing derogatory in the statement.

I could easily claim that a region I create is free from all reproductively capable satellites. Is that offensive? It's discriminatory, but I have every right to determine who I allow in my region, no?

It's animal is the eternal Jew. You censor racists that have Jews as national animals, yet when it's a World Factbook Entry you wonder what is the point. I am wondering if you are doing your job dude, Neut.

Neut, I think he means that they are portraying the Jude (Jew) as an animal. Isn't that against the rules? Or does it only apply to nation animals?

Yes. So if my national, or regional animals will be Jews, you will not censor it? Is this what you are trying to say?

Regions don't normally have 'national animals' do they? I thought was just part of a nation's listing? anywho there is a contridiction here ...large, powerful region, renowned for the complete absence of Jews...
and it's animal is the eternal Jew? Since the region has a complete absence of Jews how can something that is not present in the region be the region's 'national animal'? :?: :?

Not sure if he read it, but I did. I will bold the part that I can only assume he is referring to:

Perhaps possibly the last line? It is now possibly offensive to portray a race as an animal? I know this is a “regional” animal instead of a national and I could understand if that was the point of discussion. But to describe this as only “possibly” offensive is to completely go against the rules as set up thus far. It is offensive, the questions is whether the region can do what a nation can not.

You’re not sure what is wrong with declaring the animal of the Jew is being killed by Aryan race? I believe you understand the argument, but are simply playing coy, which does not really help understanding. Your argument could well be argued by any racist nation who uses the Jew as their animal—they could easily declare that they do consider it an animal, what could possibly be derogatory about that?

I don’t think the Regional Fact is over the lines at all, except for declaring the Jew an animal. Again, if you want to argue that it is okay for a region to have an animal as such, but not a nation, fine. But declaring that you see nothing wrong with it, is quite likely false. If not, then I am simply confused how you could not understand the point made, even if you disagree with it.

I missed the animal part the first time around. A warning was issued to the region last night.
