Kick ALL the Starters!

I've been hearing some disturbing rumors lately about World of Darkness' new publisher catering to white supremacist groups, anyone had any confirmation on that?

One would think that would have been added to their Wikipedia article if there was any truth to it. I see nothing listed there about any controversies at all.

Well, it's not Wikipedia, but here's one gamer's take on why he can't and won't continue to support White Wolf "a bunch of Swedish edgelords". (Edited to go to the Internet Archive because the original version was taken down after sparking a great deal of heat.) I was already planning to not-buy V5 after the We Eat Blood and All Our Friends are Dead debacle (referenced in the article), but I'm still backing the Geist kickstarter, and will continue to support Onyx Path's Chronicles of Darkness material until and unless the sort of thing described in the blog post starts creeping in (which I don't expect). OPP take this seriously enough to have opened the latest Monday Meeting Notes with a disclaimer:

Onyx Path is against Nazis. We do not support Nazis, and if you are reading this and self-identify as a Nazi, we don’t make these games for you. Don’t buy them, or steal them, or read them, or play them.

Simplistic and low-hanging fruit, maybe, but this is something I thought was painfully obvious about us. Yet, clearly it was not.

Now you know, and knowing is half the Mandatory Educational Content Segment™. If we're going to discuss this further (which is probably not a good idea), it should go to Politics.
