Yeah this is V5, first published in 2018 when the term “alt-right” was current. Before they just became the mainstream right.
I don’t know if this quote is from the original release or a later revision, though. Shortly after V5’s release, White Wolf was shut down because of systemic issues. Multiple rather extreme right-wing references made their way into the original book, including Russian anti-gay purges in Chechnya and options to play as neonazis. I think there might have been allegations more directly against senior White Wolf staff.
So Paradox, the owners of White Wolf, disbanded the company of White Wolf and brought production of all World of Darkness in-house (plus contracted out to third-parties, like Renegade). Changing options to make tjen more inclusive and remove harmful ones was done during this time.
Just last year, Paradox reconstituted White Wolf under a team that had been working under Paradox’s World of Darkness team.
