NTA. You are under no obligation to help other people cancel some jeweler who's probably dead now anyway. Enjoy your ring and fuck the haters.

NTA. The jeweler may have had a politically incorrect past, but the times have changed and so have the people. Why not go seek the jeweler and have a frank conversation about their current principles, and then make an informed decision?

Exactly! Those "problematic associations" are just elvish propaganda because the elves don't agree with the traditional values the jeweller stands for.

Agreed, and given how much of that rift stems from mild music preferences and involuntary erythropoietic porphyria, I no longer subscribe to elven newsletters.

Henry Ford was a literal Nazi and people still buy his cars.

It's actually worse than that... he influenced them.

His screeds against Jewish people became so well-known at home and abroad that he is the only American whom Adolf Hitler compliments by name in Mein Kampf.

Yes, but, if Henry Ford were alive today, would he still be a Naz....
