      Antisemites tend to use "goy" in derogatory fashion to indicate something being of Jewish origin. Got a lot of play back when 4chan nazis posted "happy merchant" memes all day.

      I hate so much that I know this shit

          IIIRC famed shitposter SsethTzeentach has used the happy merchant memes and "goy" memes a lot, which is weird coming from a guy who's an Ashkenazi Jew? But it's surprisingly widespread, yeah.

            He's extremely 4chan through and through and obviously has shit taste in games

              My man is extremely 4chan but I have to disagree about taste. On a freeze-gamer youtube where every second channel is some nintendobrained retro gaming reseller guy, I can respect a man who is willing to talk about Heroes of Might n Magic III, or Dungeon Siege II, or Impressions Games city builders. Shit that's not the usual platformers-shooters-jrpgs.

                The man sucks, but if he recommends a game it’s going to be good.

                  Also the video will give me severe whiplash when I stop laughing at an actual funny joke because he followed it up with a hardcore racist one!

                    He’s done a lot less of that (monetization or actually growing, who can tell), but yeah. A genuinely guilty subscribe simply because the recs are good and when he’s not being a channer he can be funny.

                      He has impeccable comedic timing, when he's not using it for racism or homophobia

                      Also he's a fucking PHD level (though iirc never actually got his PHD) biologist which is fucking weird to think of

            Which also makes all of his friends 4chan brained buffoons and this unfortunately includes Mandaloregaming. Which is a shame since I really liked Mandaloregaming.

              Oh hell, Mandalore's one I like. I knew he was kind of buddies with Sseth, but please do ruin Mandalore for me if you can.

            Well, more accurately goy is singular and goyim is plural, just like you have one seraph and many seraphim. This is the masculine inflectional pattern. The feminine equivalent to the -im suffix is -ot, one aliyah and many aliyot.

          Jewish term for gentiles, it's an extremely antisemitic dogwhistle when used like this; imagine Rothschild and all the other racist nonsense.

            Yeah and as far as dog whistles go, this one sucks because there's no benign interpretation. Thank you musk for moderating your platform

              I get that it's a joke but Zionism feeds off of stoking real antisemitism; let's not forget what antisemitism really is and represents lest a wave of it takes over in reaction to the Zionist genocide.

        Depending on context, overtness, and precisely who’s speaking, “goy” can be invoked in a mockery of how the poster thinks a “Jewish overlord” might talk about nonbelievers. (See also: liberal sprinklings of “oy vey” and other assumed stock phrases)

      "Goy" is short for "Goyim", and is a word primarily used by Jewish people to refer to non-Jews.

      Anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists often self-identity as Goyim to highlight their position as an underclass. In this case, the implication is that Jews feed Goys tasteless nutrition bars while, presumably, the Jewish passengers in first-class still get opulent kosher meals.
