isnt supporting jewish people and ending antisemitism the same thing??

In this specific context, I was regarding the war, not Jewish People in general.

I mean a child doesn't have any authority to say that a group of adults is making the wrong political decisions, especially younger kids. By the point they have a brain developed enough to make their own moral political decisions,they would classify as an adult in this case.

Oh I know that plenty of people aren't always very smart about this, that's why I said they would be foolish.

Yeah, some people are afraid of symbols. (Not targeting a specific political party, it goes both ways, and not for everyone)

Now, don't shout at me if I'm dreadfully incorrect but:
Wouldn't this possibly cause political flame wars? I get the idea but it might be used for… other stuff… on the website, especially on wacky places like griffpatch's profile. That's just my opinion, though.

No, it's a blue square. It only means end anti semetism, there's really no argument against that in which isn't already reportable. And the emoji doesn't help those arguments in any way.

This seems to be a general issue worldwide - people are increasingly sensitive to topics and opinions that even distantly relate to any current war or controversial political event. I feel like this would also happen with something as simple as a blue square, so semi-support

Eh, maybe something more direct like a David's Star?

It's a good idea that might be implemented, but then it begs the question of what other emojis to show support should be added.

It's a logical fallacy to assume that if the Scratch Team implements one suggestion to support a minority group, they are immediately obligated to do the same for every single group on the planet. And I don't think it would even be a big deal if it causes other users to make suggestions to support more diversity. Do you?

No, I don't believe so. We have BLM and LGBTQ+ emojis, yet there are not flame wars over those groups' validity to exist. I don't think a blue square would be much different.

there hasn't been an lgbtq+ war yet there's been a lot of wars regarding jews
Please don't take this incorrectly please

When I said “flame wars” involving LGBTQ+, I just meant brutal arguments on Scratch. I wasn't referring to actual wars in real life with flamethrowers or anything like that.

You're right about that.

They want to add a blue square emoji to Scratch because it represents ending Anti-Semitism (unfair racism toward Jewish people). Does that make sense?

Some feelings are inexplicable. I suppose because I feel many of them, too many of them, but the emotions that most enthrall me are the erratic ones that sit under the surface, intensely felt but indescribable. They are the feelings that cannot be boxed up in easy adjectives, but a current of both physical and emotional sensitivity that sweep me into wordlessness. I guess I can't show my support or why I support it in writing, but I guess it's because blue is better than putple
