1st despite the furor , it looks like nasty hobitsses will be in the book. This makes me very happy although were I a backer (I couldn't make it) I'd be pushing for an herbalist/hedge wizard as well.
Atlictoatl you should take some time to read the reviews befoire you judge . The ones that caught so much ire were fake negative reviews used to manipulate Amazon numbers for political purposes. And note Day is a publisher (Castallia House a leading pulp publisher) and there are times and places fake reviews to sabotage a business can be grounds for suit

Amazon being the plaintiff here.
Real reviews by people who had read the book or at least enough of it to judge even if negative were welcomed.
This problem effects everyone including Hollywood in this case over the Armenian genocide (Turkish brigading basically)

and of course fake review blackmail on Yelp and elsewher . Its a huge problem and all the lies and manipulation are why we can't have nice things.
Also Vox Day and the rest of the US .alt right are not boogymen but are transparently easy to understand, they are Paleo-Conservatives like Pat Buchanan radicalized with Allinskite tactics. Thety only seem Right wing because the polite public culture is pushed left. Hell Trump , scary guy #1 is probably more liberal than Bill Clinton was
Why this situation is uncomfortable is that the Right in the US always played by a failure is fine so long as we stick to our principles. "Beatiful Losers" as Sam Francis put it, The .Alt Right isn't like that They play by the same rules the Left does. Allinsky you magnificent bastard I read your book etc etc
That is scary since its new but its easy to stop, don't play dirty and the other guy won't play dirty since the others guys prefer not to anyway.
:re Doxxing, its not nice and it can be illegal but As Matt Assay noted here

You don't have privacy or security. The instant bandwidth became cheap and plentiful, privacy was over , done and gone.
This sucks so much especailly for those of us from the before the Internet times (Late Antideluvian era, after the fall of Mu) but baring regulation no one supports like a a total ban on data transfers faster than say 56k for everyone except a few national security reasons nothing can be done. The technological convergence of the cameras, the Internet and other forms of networking are creating a brave new society
Its not the time and place to discuss it but there isn't much anyone can do except call a cease fire and hope people stick to it,
Now as for your concerns, you need to trust the Autarch, he knows how to give people what they want and in context of the genre. So relax. The Dark Lord will be cool , the V.FM.'w will be fun and the SJW's will be in genre and in good fun too.
