Thank you for at least bringing it to discussion because without discussion nothing is changed and no one’s eyes are opened to anything. 

My eyes were opened to how people were feeling offended by the term. 

I’ve just never used the term in the way that people were offended by them. I hope that makes sense. 

I kind of responded to that in my last response. Thank you so much for your input. 

In short I said something along the lines of the fact that I use the term to describe the feelings I get when I see Jesse or Andrew which are “Wow! You’re Jewish just like me! You’re so lovely and awesome! That’s so cool!” Not as a weird fetish thing. Because if it was used like that then I would take IMMENSE OFFENSE to it!

Like I said previously. I am Jewish, I’ve lost family in the Holocaust. I’ve faced antisemitism first hand and I would never ever insult my own culture or make it into some sort of fetish. 

I respect Andrew and Jesse as people. I see them as people who just so happen to be Jewish and they also have qualities that are similar to unicorns to me. They are both unique and they are both insanely beautiful people inside and out. 

I’ve only used the term to describe the feeling that they bring to me of  ”Wow, you are Jewish just like me! And you’re awesome! How cool is that?” Not as an insult or any sort of degradation towards them or my culture as a whole.

I’m totally excited to get going with it as well! Sorry we haven’t posted much to keep you going but know this. We will bring you new content to giggle at and to fuel you for the next semester! 

This is coming from a Jew and I don’t find the term offensive at all. It’s more of a term of endearment to me. 

I mean, let’s break the word down.

“Jew” which means someone of Jewish decent. Andrew and Jesse are both Jewish.

“Nicorn” derivative of the word “unicorn” which is a mythological creature that is famous for it’s symbolism of purity, uniqueness and innocence. They are also gorgeous creatures. 

I mean, this is what I take from it. If you would like to discuss it further with me in my own personal ask (preferably unanon). You are more than welcome to. I would love to talk more about this with you. 

I think we are going to keep the same URL because it’s the URL that got us to where we are now.

Forgive my ignorance, but why does the fandom find the term “Jewnicorn” “really problematic?” There are literally no negative connotations to it. 

However, thank you so much for your love and support for our little blog it means the world to us! We hope to keep you entertained and amused for as long as we can!
