- 1/08/2018 Ughhhh I'm almost embarrassed to post this. First off I fell asleep when I thought I'd do more but mostly there's just a few doodles in there I wish never existed. Like I can draw humans bodies it's just I was half asleep and didn't try (at all). Objectively speaking I actually really like the majority but all I see at first are the bad ones. Well one post per day.

Captain America was literally based off the idea of a golem so if you are confused about what a good human representation of a golem is its captain America and in no way trump

your periodic reminder that “golem” is not a word you can throw around without context. i know golems are pretty ingrained as earth/elemental spirits in a lot of fantasy settings now, but i wish more people understood that golems are extremely important to jewish people in an extremely specific way. 

the legend of the golem is a direct response to antisemitism in europe–specifically the blood libel; it was the golem’s job to expose asshole christians who tried to frame jews for child murder. the golem was a uniquely jewish response to a uniquely jewish problem: a sort of proto-superman who could come to our aid when all else failed. the golem is for the most part a benign protector (though there are legends of them rampaging after their rabbis lost control of them, but really, that one’s on the rabbi for not being specific enough). it is a positive and much beloved figure in jewish folklore.

so i want you to understand the full extent of jewish revulsion when we see people throwing around the word “golem” in regards to trump. 

trump is not a golem. you do not get to use that word. it does not mean “vaguely human-shaped unfeeling lump of excrement trying to pass as a person.” If that’s what you’re trying to convey with the word “golem”, please just use those words instead.
