I'm glad I missed most of the discussion about this but yes, if you are even indirectly using the word "kike", you are doing antisemitism, there is nothing complicated or nuanced to talk about.

Oh good heavens. I think I'm glad I haven't had much time for social media lately.

I thought this was bleedingly obvious, but apparently I was wrong.

wish we could also put that debate to bed around the word "zio" very tired of people insisting it's a slur against Zionists, not against Jews, and that nobody's allowed to get mad at them for it or tell them not to use it, and anyone who does must be (you guessed it) a Zionist

Maybe it's because I'm in Australia, but I feel that word had basically disappeared from discourse? It's weird that it resurfaced like this.

It comes up occasionally, but it is fairly rare to encounter in the mainstream (4chan, on the other hand...)

Sometimes things really are simple. Using that slur to talk about Jews is Jew hate. No if, ands, or buts.

My reply (fairly) got flagged by an auto-labeler for the slur, so you might not have gotten notified about it.

Yes, you see Claire, if you're talking about how Israel is secretly censoring the media, that's definitely not antisemitic, even if you're doing it by posting a 4chan screenshot about how kikes are controlling the media with "kike" blacked out.
