Wyrm was present in the purelands, just that Uktena kept the bigger ones asleep. Luckily, revisited and Wild West books pretty much shot down the utopia part.The idea that the pre-Colombian Americas were a pristine, Gaia loving utopia before those dirty foreigners brought the Wyrm with them would probably have been rejected as irredeemably racist if the invaders had been anyone other than white, western Europeans. On the other end of the spectrum, you have the very concept of the "Pure Lands".
Another thing that probably doesn't help matters is that the Shadow Lords are centered in Eastern Europe.It also had the chapter titles written in German, just to drive the Nazi point home.Lampshaded in the revised tribebook's history section, which says that the tribe's reputation was pretty much shot after World War II and it took some heavy duty Nazi-hunting (which included going after the Get who actually went for it) to restore it.It's hard not to take it all out of context. Such as the Get's Scandinavian/Germanic origin, Tribal Weakness being an intolerance for a concept or type of person, their strive for purity, and bellicose demeanor. While their use of the symbol predates Nazi bastardization by millenia, there are several factors that don't help matters at all. Unfortunate Implications: The Get of Fenris' tribal emblem is a stylized swastika.That's right, they have an actual Gift for getting some gay lovin'. They still don't hold a candle to the Nuwisha, who have a high level gift called "Teasing Mate", which their Tribe book specifically says is for attracting lovers of the same gender.The debate between Samir the Jackal and Malcolm Night-Smile is thick with Ho Yay. Also, read the Galliard chapter of Book of Auspices.(Also some among the Fianna, who are known for, having had a few (by Garou standards), being indiscriminate with their choice of sexual partners.) Ho Yay: According to the writeups in the tribebooks and sourcebooks, there is quite a bit (albeit of the "don't ask don't tell" variety) among the Get of Fenris.A werehyena (who are at war with the werelions) stating that they should get back to what matters-" killing Simba". Hilarious in Hindsight: Granted, it is appropriate, but the Changing Breeds supplement has one such moment.Fanon Discontinuity: Several books are considered this for one reason or another, but the revised Children of Gaia Tribebook especially.
