Totally accidental, I'm sure.
It is the name of a Japanese deity, so I think it is an actual accident. Funny as fuck though!
Yeah a tech billionaire being into Japanese culture is marginally more likely than a billionaire being a Nazi. Lots of over lap of course but I think the Japanese culture fascination is the more likely explanation
I don't think it's more likely but from what I understand he's got another boat with a Japanese name so it's much more likely named after the deity.
This particular shit bag is a huge weeb, and the name is of a Japanese goddess. It doesn't mean he isnt a nazi, just that this is probably a coincidence.
and there it is - the racist conspiracy fantasy in full effect
First of all, fuck Larry Ellison.
BUT: Apparently he's a giant weeb and all his yachts are named after Japanese stuff. Izanami is a god from Japanese mythology. There is reasonable doubt here.
I mean, not just a god in that mythology but one of the most important ones since she created a lot of other gods. If he's got another boat named Izanagi, I am pretty sure it's just a very, very funny coincidence. Almost like the universe is trying to tell him something about his bullshit Zionist ways.
I cant find it now but there was this great photo of a dude dressed up in full SS attire surrounded by a ton of anime posters and figures lol.
Also I'd suggest him a name from an IJN ship that met an untimely end. Plenty of options.
Two things can be true
I was like "izanami sounds like some naruto shit" imo you can simply add a second word and ruin the backwards spelling.
She's in SMITE as well, teleporty ganky ADC
I was gonna say surely you'd not be both so stupid and evil to actually do this intentionally
.... Then I read it was one of Larry Ellison's kids
Isn't one of Musk's kids an awesome trans activist?
Also, fuck my father. Children shouldn't be tarnished by their parent's crimes.
Because fuck clickbait
izanami -> imanazi (im a nazi)
How is it clickbait? The title literally says the name of the ship, and the ability to read a word backwards should be something one acquires by around 5th grade.
Title might have been edited after the fact for all we know, original title doesn't have it
i appreciate the spirit though lmfao
The name was appropriate.
Seems to me like the head of a global media conglomerate should be more aware of the messages he sends. If he were an employee, this would probably have gotten him fired. But ownership is the best job security, isn't it?
Yeah, another victory of the great good over the evil evilness: bad word eliminated! Hurray! And don't you fucking dare to not "hurray" with us!
He is a Nazi
I guarantee that piece of shit knew. Fuck the Ellisons.
That's why I named my yacht "Dawyaglatotami" as to avoid things like this.
Gaywad?
Yes?
One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Nazis really love fucking with other peoples' religions. First the swastika and now this.
Could have just sold it to Elmo.
They misspelled the word “accurate” in the title as “horrible”
So he just reversed it.
Try "Iznogud" next.
Is it really that unbelievable that one of the literal devil’s kids is a nazi?
