So here's a thing that popped up on Reaper's Facebook page. I'm torn. On the one hand, make your beliefs known with your wallet. On the other, I really like Bones.

My favourite bit is when he admits to typing NAZI in all capitals to loltrigger the Jewish person he is talking to.

If that Facebook screencap is right, he has been at Reaper for 13 years. Its unlikely he has been there that long and kept this aspect of his beliefs quiet. They undoubtedly are aware and don't care.

They're pasting "We became aware of this exchange shortly after it ended and are investigating." in response to everything. That they're voting on something already is pretty interesting. Maybe they will do something :stare:

I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said on social media last night. What I said was insensitive. I am not a Nazi, and I am not a fascist. I do not agree with national socialists nor do I support any hate groups or their agendas. My words were my own and do not reflect on my friends and colleagues at Reaper Miniatures, and I would not want any anger directed at them. I realize my words hurt and offended people and I truly apologize.

There is no way Reaper didn't know he was a shithead. They're just now concerned that he has become a public, income and reputation damaging shithead.

I never expected them to do anything, they knew he was a shitlord. He has been there too long for them not to know. It's a public non-apology from the I'm sorry you were offended playbook. Nothing will happen.

I've sat on the fence for every bones kickstarter, and this happens on the one I finally hit go on. :v:

I didn't think they would straight out fire him, because yea he's been there ages and it's clear that its a close-knit group. I was hoping that they would do something more than just ditch the post and say 'wow that happened, sorry'. I don't require everyone who acts like an rear end in a top hat to lose their jobs over it, but there are a ton of things that Reaper could do to express genuine regret and, maybe more importantly, reflect that his opinions aren't a reflection of their own.

Absolutely and I think its got to the point now where the outrage has died down they're probably safe not doing any of that. :(

All during the project as I added stuff to my pledge manager to get a feel for what the final shipping costs would be, new items added a few cents to a dollar here and there, and it topped out just under $20.

Today, post project, I went and looked at it, and the shipping for the same lot has shot up to $127.

Bait.

and.

Switch.

Reaper couldn't be any less ethical if they tried.

Haha holy poo poo did they just screw Rest of the World again?
