What is the consensus here?

  He's still on Twitter, but all I've picked up on from some stray references (I don't follow him and wouldn't if you paid me) is his recent contention that Tolkien was 'really' pagan and only practiced Catholicism because it was 'expected' for someone respectable in 20th century England ...

Only crime there is being most likely wrong. I mean anything is certainly possible but thats a pretty far cry from burning churches or screaming "sigheil"

As far as the Mork Borg OGL anti-racism clause goes, that seems to be a pre-emptive defensive measure to keep Varg Vikernes away.

Shit I dont know how I didn't put two and two together than Varg Vikinges was the guy from Mayhem who murdered someone which is the same guy who wrote MyFarog. Though I hear from some people who have played MyFarog that it's not what it was made out to be. Last I heard he moved on from that life, but it's not like i was following his life story very closely. Unfortunately he's been yeeted from all the major social media and streaming platforms so it is difficult to tell what has actually become of him if he is truly reformed.

He's a literal Nazi. It's part of why even though I spend a considerable amount of time fighting him and his fans, the SJWs always try to include him in a list of people who are the furthest thing from nazis but that they want to smear.

Why would they claim hes the furthest thing from Nazis you'd think they'd get all kinds of turned on by finding an actual Nazi and not just someone who was on the MAGA train or something. Anyway might just strike him off the list if he doesn't fit really any categories or drop him to red despite not being woke and still probably hating you.

Because they're not actually looking for Nazis. They're looking for people they can smear as Nazis.

This kinda ties in with a theme I've seen among the wokeists. They want their enemies to be horrible, irredeemable monsters -- but they also have to be cardboard cutouts who fall over if you shout at them. Terrible foes who are about as threatening as pocket lint.

Actual, real villains -- the kind that would shrug at their epithets, and then consign them to the scorpion pits -- make them wet themselves and cry.

Edit: Catalyst Game Labs (Shadowrun) is woke but idk to what degree as I don't follow their games. I do remember a big spiel about identity and gender at the beginning of the newest Shadowrun edition but need more info

I'm so glad I swapped the clunky SR rules for Savage Worlds, and am working on my own die pool system for when I return to the game in the future.

I google search turned up this https://www.catalystgamelabs.com/2020/06/11/catalyst-game-labs-statement-on-social-justice/

So, they are trying to walk a tightrope from the looks of it. Capitalizing "Black Lives Matter" IMO suggests support of the organization, not the idea that people of African decent are just as valuable as those of European decent. But then they try to walk it back with tepid support, then soft condemnation of the police and military.

It won't be enough with woke gamers turn their gaze to them.

It's sad but true that the Guilt by Association fallacy remains a powerful weapon in the Establishment's arsenal.

Varg made some claim like 20 years ago that he supported Naziism.

He has since completely backed off that and changed his outlook. I haven't seen anything remotely "Nazi" from him, and he has said that MYFAROG is not racist.

Back in the day he wanted to be this heavy metal edge lord --that is what it was like in Europe in he late 80s and early 90s. The metal heads all tried to shock the public through devil worship, swastikas, etc. it was all an act.

but Varg continues to be this boogeyman

The other work that I have found surprisingly Based is Forbidden Lands.  Forbidden Lands has some woke-isms such as calling Races "Kin." 

From what I read Elves are procreation capable space androids powered by crystals and  Dwarves are designer-gene descendants of the crew of the World ship that the Forbidden Lands in set on who escaped from the DEEP DEEP DEEP tunnels and technology to go semi-feral up in the DEEP tunnels and they lost their link to those they split off from. I think they were also hinting that gods and demons were AIs and or things from another dimension, so the setting does a lot of Mystara like techno-sorcery things in the background.

Kobold Press seems to be OK. I haven't seen anything woke or crazy from them or their authors

unless someone else has seen something

That's actually pretty accurate.   Elves have a ruby in their chest (the translation is murky but it seems to imply that the ruby is in the center of the Elf's Heart) which can be used to completely regrow the Elf's body with powerful magic but otherwise functions much like an Eldar Soulstone from 40k.  If made into a piece of jewelry, the elf inside will communicate with the owner in their dreams.  Yes, Elf rubies are very valuable and yes humans do murder elves and cut out their rubies sometimes.

Demons are more akin to the Demons from Berserk.  They're either monstrous beings from alien dimensions or humans who sacrificed their humanity for power.

Overall I really like Forbidden Lands. It has this great, dark, dangerous, Swords and Sorcery feel to it that reminds me of Berserk and First Edition Warhammer Fantasy in a good way.

They have released a sactioned Workshop so third parties can publish new material for the setting/system and already we have some stand-out products on DriveThruRPG.

My personal Favorites are "Reforged Power" which is a rebalance of the game and "Tales of High Adventure" a rules conversion for using the Forbidden Lands system for Conan-style Swords and Sorcery Adventures.

Thulean Perspective is Varg Vikernes. That man is a church arsonist and a murderer who travelled for kilometers just to kill Euronymous in "self defense". He's not a nazi in the sense that MSM promotes it, but he's far from being a good person.

Also, fuck Jeff Dee. I used to watch him on "The Atheist Experience" back in my edgy days of democrat indoctrination. Found out the host, Matt Dilahunty is in favor of BLM. This idiot
   
Also add DCC (Goodman games) to the red list of corporate bootlickers, marxists, anti whites and black worshippers

Got anything else for Goodman games? I stupid post like that definitely puts them in yellow territory. Can't find anything about them going full crazy and telling people not to buy their games or having staff doxxing people

I would say that Wolfgang Baur suffers from the typical woke designer syndrome but is able to separate his ideology from his company pretty well.

The Kobold Guide to Gamemastering harps about white males checking their privilege at the gaming table.  They also pretty much say you're a bigot if you think that transmen or transwomen are "in any way undesirable or abnormal".

Kobold = Woke

Welp, and there goes any remorse that was stopping me from sailing the high seas to find the fabled DCC Trove!

Ar, Ar Matey!
