"We dont use the word "clever" here because it is insensitive and derogatory."

"Sorry, you are right... it is a shitty word..."

Guess this is the writer subconscious talking.

The writer wrote "Cleaver" not clever.

Cleavers are an enemy type in wod. They are vampires who maintain a human family, not necessarily their biological one but that's how it usually starts. Cleavers feed vitae to their children and spouse, creating a brood of ghouls. The cleaver eventually uses their brood to take over either a neighborhood or a small town.

Cleavers are deemed an immense threat to the masquerade and psychologically unstable. The camarilla will kill them on sight.

I guess in this analogy Ian Miles "Sol Rex Exitium Invictus" Cheong is the Codex very own Darth Vader.

Sure,if vader was a fat gay muslim midget.

Sounds like a completely normal Tzimisce operation for breeding Revenants. Silly Cammies.

what is the world coming to when vampires are being depicted as evil degenerate monsters?

Hardsuit Labs are the vampires in this story and they were sucking Paradox's blood for 3 years.

But wait, there's more! This is also from the Anarchs book, a bit earlier on:

Also I can't help be just a bit proud whenever I see the Rudi's Army image still making the rounds because I was the one who took the screenshot and uploaded it to 4chan for /tg/ to meme on, and it's still the version being used. The dimensions are the same, the version uploaded here just has some underlined words. I also took the screenshot for the above picture.

Whole thing is so ridiculous that i believe it be an unironic guide to shitposting on the vampiric web.

What the hell am I reading? Sick fucks.

The QAnon conspiracies would fit right in with this whole Woke of Darkness shit.

First thought - this is just a part of WoD fiction, a picture depicting online discussions of vampires in WoD universe.

Second thought: It's a collection of forum posts made by fans of WoD who are having online discussions while in character.

Third thought and final conclusion: It's a montage of real forum posts from people who actually believe they are vampires. Not that surprising really, they have existed ever since vampires became a topic of fiction. A lot of those types get sexual arousal from drinking blood, but not all such paraphiliacs are fascinated by vampirism.

But Paradox themselves are vampires, so one could say that HL attempted to diablerize them.

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

With source material like this it was always going to be diarrhea one way or another. Good riddance to brian cucksoda and all the other has-beens trash

But wait, there's more! This is also from the Anarchs book, a bit earlier on:

We dodged a bullet, bros.

The commiefornian writers that were working on the game must have been having a field day using this source material as reference.

Believe it or not,but most far right codexers were once liberals to some extent....even i was.

Fun bit of trivia, seeking consent when you feed gains you the perk consensualist, which boosts your humanity score by one. However the Vampire will also inevitably receive the dark secret flaw, masquerade breacher.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

To their credit no matter how disgusting this DOES read like a real online conversation in one of these "Facebook groups for concerned parents".
The type that makes you feel the urge to bitchslap into a coma every single person involved, incidentally.

Shit like Rudi's Army makes me think that leftards aren't trying to subvert/destroy classic franchises like Star Trek or Star Wars on purpose. They are just fundamentally incapable of writing anything good. The biggest issue is that leftists who created these classics actually cared about people, while modern leftards are only concerned with LARPing as super-heroes.

 

[PlacidDragon]

Hardsuit Labs are the vampires in this story and they were sucking Paradox's blood for 3 years.

At least 4 Paradox acquired White Wolf back in late 2015. Hardsuit reportedly immediately started working on a Bloodlines 2 presentation, hired Mitsoda, and pitched it to Paradox in February of 2016 (at the D.I.C.E summit in Las Vegas). I have no idea when "full production" started, but mid 2016 sometime probably.

Now I don't know anything about recent developments, but when I met with an at-that-time-Bloodlines 2 producer during the GamesCon 2019 in Cologne and talked with him about Rudi, I got the impression that he thought it was meant ironic.

Both are true. They are trying to subvert and ruin popular IPs, and they are also shit writers.

Now, as you mention, that wasn't always the case, there have been leftist writer that did manage to make the content palatable to audiences in the past, but that was when the left still hadn't achieved the level of dominance in popular culture they have nowadays.

What happens when they take over a popular IP and ruin it? A bunch of (predominantly white and male fans complain online, but are quickly drowned by the deluge of STUNNING AND BRAVE outpourings from fellow leftists and the media, while the detractors get unpersoned, silenced, banned and unplatformed.

There's also no financial consequences for the companies that allowed them to do this - their parent corporations will just pour in more monopoly money to finance the next propaganda effort, and the staff that gets laid off will just move onto the next thing to ruin.

As for why the writing is always so shit - you have to look at things from the deranged perspective of a leftist writer. Their main goal isn't to write a compelling narrative, but to reinforce leftist talking points. What this means in practice is that the leftist sacred cows (women, minorities and sexual degenerates) cannot be portrayed in a negative light or have flaws (as the writer might be accused of internalized misogyny/racism/bigotry) and cannot be shown to lose at any point to the white, male antagonist, as that would imply that they are inferior to white men.

And yes, they very much want and need to bend all entertainment to their whim, it's a cornerstone of the "cultural hegemony" they want to create to achieve their ideal of a self-perpetuating and self-sustaining Marxist dictatorship.

This sounds like the deranged ranting of a butthurt rightoid. If rightoids knew how to write in the first place, they would have dominated the industry.

What's the issue here? The whole problem with vampire fiction is usually that they aren't depicted as the monsters they are. This vitae baby thing is much more in line with what they should be.

Seriously ?

Any vampire with half a decent brain and basic survival instinct reject previous family bond, it's just asking for masquerade breach.
Raising kids, which are supposed to be the most oblvious and naive of the human species is beyond retard, not a single organization respecting the masquerade would stand for it.

And? Even the old lore has revenant families. What about the Giovanni who pretty much do exactly this?

Giovanni have been doing that shit for centuries and have gotten good at it. The're not a bunch of Anarchs trying to live normal lives.

 

[Avarize]

If a leftist becomes a vampire does it grow a brain?

 

[Sarathiour]

There is an obvious difference between being raised in a occult family apart from the rest of society and wanting to keep your ex-wife children. Also, even among the Giovanni embrace are rare, avoided among your own mortal family, and they also are avoiding feeding from their own (though it's more due to their clan weakness).

If a leftist becomes a vampire does it grow a brain?

Why the fuck would anyone want to embrace them ?

 

[Caim]

If a leftist becomes a vampire does it grow a brain?

If a post-op transwoman becomes a vampire does their dick grow back?

 

[Avarize]

I still don't see the issue with there being dumb vampires, unless they are old vampires.

Lily in Bloodlines was talking about how she has family with a place out in the middle of of nowhere in Oregon and how she will live there with E. I'm guessing it's hard to live in your relatives' house without telling them you're still ''alive'', and maybe these Anarchs are as retarded as thin-bloods are.
