PVC Cabbage-Print Suit by Cune.

Hey friends, I need your help getting this Kickstarter shut down, and preferably the funds sent to people affected.

I’ve talked to my friends, and we really are at a loss as to what else we can do. We’ve contacted the people who made the Kickstarter and are contacting Steam, but there simply isn’t enough response.

What is the project?:

The project is this visual novel called “Mein Waifu is the Fuhrer.” It is supposedly a parody, but you can never really tell.

Here is the link to the Kickstarter, which is unfortunately already at nearly $88,000.

What’s bad about it?:

This project has real world Nazi killers as Cute Anime Girls.

These people committed real crimes against my people. They may have committed real crimes against your people. They not only have Hitler himself as one of the girls, but four other criminals who committed atrocious acts.

To add insult to injury, they have rewards such as body pillows of the Hitler girl and some of the others, as well as keychains and patches. You can also get a soldier in the game added to look like you.

Why is this harmful when WWII was so long ago?:

Nazis, to be blunt, are still out there.

The Holocaust’s effects are still lingering. We have survivors out there, but their numbers are dwindling. We have people making the same mistakes that lead up to it.

The Jewish population has not yet even reached the number we had before the Holocaust. We have high rates of intergenerational trauma. This was so triggering to one of my friends and I that we decided we had to do something. I believe the same is true of the Romani people, who were also targeted for their race.

There were, and are many other people murdered by the Nazis. (May their memories be a blessing). Political prisoners, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people. Their contributions were also buried, just like Jewish ones were. 

If I donated, what can i do?:

We all make mistakes, and I am not expecting everyone to understand the realities of global antisemitism and anti-Romani racism. I am not calling you a Nazi or even a bad person if you supported this. However, please consider making an equivalent donation, or educating yourself on these topics.

I would encourage donating to a Holocaust education center. There are a lot of small ones, so you could probably even find one in your area. People are beginning to forget and deny this tragedy in greater and greater numbers, so this is important work that you could really help!

You can also donate to a local Jewish organization! Contrary to what you may have heard, most of us aren’t rich, and our organizations need funding just like any other.

A lot of us donate in multiples of $18 because “18″ and “life” sound the same. It would be an extra nice gesture to send $18, $36, or $54…though obviously any amount is good!
