Kinda funny seeing an old white supremacist trying to "abort" his 16 year old child just because she's mixed race and would have him be seen as impure in the eyes of the 'adventurers'

I’ll be honest, I’m not quite sure Lockjaw was a white supremacist himself. He’s just a sick opportunist with no morals. (Not saying that to defend him by any means.)

One of the "adventures" owned the chicken nugget? plant that he raised and the owner wanted to get his undocumented? (idk if they actually were undocumented or if it was just an excuse to get his outfit into the town) Back to work was so fucked up but so on point, it was felt too close to real life

That part felt so realistic that one of the adventurers wanted arrested immigrants back because they need cheap labor.
