What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Vyrerus]

Opting not to use words

Euphemism:
1) the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt
2) the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant

You are avoiding using the term genocide because you find it unpleasant, as it does not muddy the waters of discussion whatsoever, and never seemed to muddy the waters of discussion when used to describe actions of the Garlean Empire or the Ascians in prior expansions and years past forum discussions.

You are doing the opposite of being open when you refrain from calling The Sundering what it was. I'm sure you think you're being impartial, and winning folks over who don't agree with my line of thought, but you're not. They aren't disagreeing from a place of logic or rationale, but from a place of feelings. In fact, that is entirely what the Sundering metaphor scene is predicated upon.

Genocide itself is older than its own modern, universal term. That was my point. With not every language having a precise word for it. We do now. Use it.

The man who coined the term was himself a Polish born Jew by the name of Raphael Lemkin. Again, by shying away from the actual term, you are granting more power to the perpetrators of it, than you are to victims.

Like you know why Raphael Lemkin coined the term and then campaigned for the Genocide Convention?

Because the crime itself was not universally recognized. He had to invent a term and then campaign for it to even feel like he was getting close to justice done for the atrocities that went on in The Holocaust.

Like do you see how your insistence on denying the term's use is a microcosm of the very issue he campaigned against?
