Why call it gas chamber then? its not just gas that is being used in the event, there is bullets, sleep, poison etc. Fair enough "it doesn't specifically refer to the holocaust" but I bet that the holocaust was the basis of the idea and you know it.

i thought gas chambers were sugar coated propaganda and that the holocaust involved something much more sinister

No, just because the event was labeled that way doesn't mean the creator of the event had that in mind. The event was probably a developed idea from Panther International's noob trap.

The event is not called "concentration camp", it is called "Gas Chamber". The events team member chose to host it with some choice words that ended up getting him fired.

Just think about the logic you guys are using to want a name change here:
the event which is a chamber and has gas is named "gas chamber". That offends you because of the "holocaust" in history.

With that logic, some kid killing them on Era with an m4 could offend someone because their uncle got shot in the past, with an m4 and died.
I'm stretching some, but still. Same basic, stupid logic.

The event, to what I've seen, has dangerous things like bullets and poison, which doesn't mean gas.

The holocaust was on a global scale, and not just a unique (by that I mean it happened to like 1 person) occurance.

It has bullets, explosions, and gas. And that's why I said I was stretching some.

Then it could be called Bullet Chamber or Explosion Chamber, or even better Bullet And Gas and Explosion Chamber.

I was being sarcastic. I also agree that it should be renamed. there's no harm in doing so and it'll take like 5 seconds.

That's society for you. Each individual's perspective is their reality, but normally we wouldn't alter any portion of society based on a single individual's perspective (unless he has a massive amount of power) ex. Hitler.

We normally alter portions of society based on the "collective" perspectives, hence Democracy. I don't know if Era is a democracy, but if it were, yeah. If collectively the perspectives of everyone felt that the M4 was offensive, again, in a "democracy" it'd be removed.

That's the flaw with democracy, rather than being guided by logic... they're manipulated by the tyranny of the fickle-minded "majority".

From the looks of Era, its more of a dictatorship... so it may not be the case.
