I mean, granted, in the American zeitgeist, no one I am aware of knew that Gypsy was a slur. It was just the word to refer to the 'weird nomadic people' in Europe. Like 'Irish' for people from Ireland.

I didn't know 'Roma' and 'Romani' existed until I was well into my twenties.

But yeah.

It's bad. It's 'All Ravnos are criminals and the Ravnos are the gypsy vampire clan' tier.

Watching The Hunchback of Notre Dame as an impressionable kid certainly didn't help.
 
I forget what terrible things were in the weaver book other than how hard they fumble Science and implying Christianity is just a weaver plot
 
I mean, given the nature of the Weaver arguing for Christianity being a Weaver plot in werewolf isn't that out there. I don't recall anything that level of bad in Book of Weaver but its been a while
 
It is...

You just know the writer has an axe to grind with theme parks, non-African continents (and presumably America) and their countries, laws such as permits, employee protection laws, safety laws, taxes, Abrahamic Religions and classifying things. (Oh and 100% was a hippie)

A lot of that is just Punk aspect of White Wolf I am going to be honest. Not all of it, some of it is just werewolf taking a stance on how things may be seen in its lore.

It is as blatant as Brucato's writing being obvious. (Funny enough, the primary writer for this never worked on another book)

There is a reason why half the stuff in Book of the Weaver seldom got referenced later (or outright proven wrong like Silent Striders and Jesus) even though arguably some of the coolest WTA stuff alongside banger art is also in it.

For sure lol, I will not deny that one. I can see his writing in there from Mage. I do think Weaver had a lot of good things in it they is useful to pull from, but you have to chose what to use.


I don't mind the idea of the Patriarch honestly, it fits werewolf for what it is. As well as it being born of the Weaver. Werewolf is the lest Christian based and that is good thing for it, as its meant to have its own metaphysics.
