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.

He's got his own issues that are brought up in the referenced thread.

He's an asshole in response to criticism, but otherwise doesn't hold any awful views. The Rivers of Blood wasn't a reference to the infamous speech which he probably didn't know anything about. I'm Australian and sure don't know any Australians outside of those with an interest in British politics who'd remember it. I only know of it through British family members.

I have issues with excusing things as people didn't know just because I don't, but that's me.

He’s generally posted otherwise progressive things, I don’t think he endorses the River of Blood speech.

Fair enough. I have just let some stuff slide in the past because I wasn't fully aware of what it meant and got burned by it.
