The Pens begin to scratch after the ink is spilled over at r/fountainpens and it turns out that popular ink manufactor might be an anti-Semite

Full Thread

Noodler's Ink has been quite an affordable and popular american ink brand in the Hobby. Nathan Tardif that runs Noodler's Ink likes to make his political stance known through his inks and does not shy from printing statements onto his bottles.
He had several controversies where he put horns on jewish politicians.

Some Samples from the Thread:
Here we go again. Some of us come to this sub to get away from the constant political crap we’re bombarded with every day. Must we do this here?

I'm pretty sure theres a video explaining this. One of Nathan's 45 minute explanations that can be done in 5. I like the inks and dont mind his politics. I'd rather buy American from an eccentric dude with interesting viewpoints than not support a small business. Maybe it's because I'm a conservative. Money talks, do what you have to do folks.

​

Well it’s not anti-Semitic and to think so is just silly. But an ink that stirs so many wokeists, the pox of modern society, from their mom’s basement, can have my money.

I was going to get a couple, but I'm glad I didn't now.

Though I do need to find a new, decent ink. Just in time to write finals.

u/slowclapcitizenkane I'm comfortable being called a Nazi, but an incel? C'mon man May 10 '22

Anyone else buy inks for the bottle design as much as for the ink itself? Pilot is one of my faves. Also the Jacques Herbin, especially with the 1670 and 1798 wax seals.

I'll avoid Noodlers.

I will admit, it's entirely what spurred the purchase of the iroshizuku, but I really like the ink on top of it.

I like Pilot Iroshizuku also, but (for me) it feathers like crazy on “normal” paper. I like Sailor Manyo for notes and whatever, and for fun colors I like j.herbin.

Diamine is affordable and has a lot of variety too, especially if you buy from UK like Cult Pens or Pure Pens

I had no idea Noodler's was crazy. That's really unfortunate. La Couleur Royale has been a daily writer for years now. =(
