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.
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.
Two things can be true
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.
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
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.
He is a Nazi
I mean, it's the name of a Japanese goddess but fuck nice things amirite
This is a techbro though so, no tears shed
I wouldn't grace any of the shite that Oracle makes with the term "technology," except for its database, and it's old and for many years had quality issues so severe that it nearly crashed the firm. Everything else Oracle makes is bloated crap (e.g., its ERP software) or piss-poor me-too variants of Linux distros, cloud platforms, etc. And they managed to make Java even worse, which must have taken some doing.
Yeah, coincidences can happen. This case, idk, maybe not?
I mean a tech bro being a little too into Japanese culture isn't that out there
But it's more likely he's a Nazi
But the moniker didn’t stick after Ellison was informed that the name spelled something deeply embarrassing when reversed: “I’m a Nazi.”
It’s the kind of joke the “Succession” writers’ room could only dream of coming up with. And it’s especially awkward given the family’s strong ties to Israel. His first wife described Ellison as “an ardent Zionist,” per Vulture, and he’s been known to be “close” with current prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Sounds pretty accurate...
Support a genocidal ethnostate long enough, your subconscious stops trying to be subtle
"I'm not that kind of fascist, I'm this other kind of fascist!"
- Larry Ellison
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.
Could have just sold it to Elmo.
The name was appropriate.
One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
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!
They misspelled the word “accurate” in the title as “horrible”
That's why I named my yacht "Dawyaglatotami" as to avoid things like this.
Gaywad?
Yes?
Is it really that unbelievable that one of the literal devil’s kids is a nazi?
So he just reversed it.
