1: there Isn't Going To Be a clear cut example of who represents jewish people in this situation because There Was No Ethnic Cleansing. the fact still remains that nemesis' backstory intentionally mirrors that of jewish people at the time. and I didn't Imply that elphe were in the slavery ring, I mentioned it because we specifically know that the powerful family oppressing elphes are racist. there was an extremely significant plot point about them being racists in the previous novel. you can't say that they aren't a marginalized group when they're being marginalized by slave owners based on race in a context that compares them to jewish people in nazi germany.

2: part of the greed and wrath novels, are Set In America. that's why I think it's thematically relevant, and I don't think it's insignificant that gallerian was hunted for sport by loki with loki shouting about how he's inferieor to him when he's canonically half jajokuese. I see no reason why mothy would make racism a key part of judgement's narrative, directly link wrath to judgement, directly tell us that nemesis is discriminated against for her race only for it to not matter at all thematically. "white passing" people of color still are affected by racism, so there's no reason why it should be different here

2b: I didn't say the song was all that mattered, I very specifically made it clear how the references to the atomic bomb define the plot of the novels with the references directly comparing her to hitler could be removed and she'd still be the same character. the end of the world is the Point of the novel, you can't say that about nemesis being called Fuhrer

3: I'm a slow typer my dude, can't help that but yes it would change the story, but would it change nemesis fundamentally as a Person? would it alter the plot beyond recognition? could you tell this story without her being referenced to hitler and still have the same themes? could you cut it into the novels that came before and after? you cannot have this novel, this Story without the reference to the atomic bomb, you Can have it without the hitler references

4: the person was editing them to comply with octo? they actively cut down the material to make it shorter. it wasn't until the last edit that they lost their temper, which I don't think is ban worthy. not that it's my call to make but it seems like too much for what actually happened
