    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.

            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.

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

      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)
