Tell me about it. Only one space after the period

Space after the ellipses too. Unacceptable

Tell it to the Chicago Manual of Style, hippie :) Seriously, it is so difficult to go against a lifetime of training and only put one space after a full stop. I have to go back and replace the double spaces when I am done. Two spaces is actually a pet peeve of some editors.

Those editors should be edited out

But there's a double space after "you". (Look out!)

There's not even a darkly funny way you can interpret this...like it's a bad joke or something. It's just purely anti-semitic
Avatar
The only "darkly funny" way is if it's in front of a door with a mezuzah (as in "I only let Jews in") but ... no. Just no.
Avatar
yeah, I got nothing. It's just horrendous. I cannot fathom how anyone would sell it or buy it or walk past it without knowing exactly what it is
Avatar
I cannot fathom how anyone could walk by it without coming back and pouring some form of bleach or acid on it.

Much less the selling or buying part.

The guy who buys this 100% is not rocking a mezuzah

There are two kinds of people who will buy this, Nazis and Chabadniks

Nah, the Chabadniks' doormat will say "Women please use side entrance".

This can’t even achieve the some of my best friends level

In a way, the people who would buy such a thing are doing the world a service, by making it abundantly clear what sort of people they are.

Good lord. I laughed and feel bad too.

There’s not even a plausible joke reading of this; it’s not like Jews are known for our door-to-door missionary work

I'll pretend this is a doormat for a mitzvah tank.

well now how am i only gonna let jews in

i'd hope this was actually the intent here (still some not-great implications) but boy is this an all-timer swing and a miss if so.

I'll guess it was designed by an algorithm that picked trending words that were near words indicating negative associations. There's been a LOT of algo-designed 'oopsies!' in the news. Google "Auschwitz Holiday Ornament". (If my guess as to the nature of the algorithm is correct, it's telling.)
Avatar
Note, by Googling "Auschwitz Holiday Ornament" you are willing it into existence by making the machine gods aware of the concept. That it already existed, does not prevent the creation of many more abominations by merely willing them into existence.

Who is this company? Is it products that people can make or is all done by them? I'm confused by the context, as if this is something big that I should be freaked out by or just some stupid edgelord. And yeah, what the hell?
Avatar
It looks a little too designed to be a "Your custom text on a doormat" type site but who knows🤷 I can't find the company OP was talking about
Avatar
It could be a "You put your premade image on a doormat" thing. I've created things that custom before. And yeah I can't find them either, hence the question.
Avatar
From the link my friend sent me a few days ago (before it was pulled down), an etsy seller
Avatar
Ah, so it's literally just some racist doing custom print jobs on door mats. I feel better now. I mean, fuck that guy, but it's just some guy.
Avatar
That was then pulled when discovered. Yeah, not something that's going to worry me, which is why I asked.
Avatar
Well thank God we've got Etsy focusing on the REAL problems on their site, like queers making silly little tshirts
Avatar
Possibly, but the product image appears as though the foreground and background colors are woven together and typically custom text or graphic products rely solely on screen printing and appliques. Honestly though your guess is as good as mine.
Avatar
Looking at the site, it's some sort of thrown-together dropshipping site that's existed for less than a month, selling a bunch of random mostly right-wing garbage. It makes a lot of references to 'user-generated content' and 'storefronts' and 'campaigns', but none of that seems to be active.
Avatar
99% chance just an edgelord. I've been seeing shit like this pop up and vanish for the briefest of moments through my whole life. The best you can do is eye roll and ignore it, less you spread word of its existence. Things like this rely on outrage to make sales cause outrage = visibility.

Hey @labeler.mountainherder.xyz is a "WTF" label for posts in the scope of things you could easily support?
