Nothing could be further from the truth. Learn more about the creators of CaH. They're outspoken liberal activists. They've even removed cards after listening to criticism and deciding they went too far.

The political views of the creators are not under discussion here; the content of their product is. They have removed some of the cards because they acknowledge there is a line, but only because people pointed it out. I’m pointing out that they’re still well over it with many of their other cards.

  Go on, tell us a couple of cards you're personally offended by. You've avoided it so carefully, let's hear it.

    The boardgame review website Shut Up and Sit Down wrote the definitive explanation of why Cards Against Humanity is junk in 2015. It's at https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/review-cards-against-humanity/ https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/review-cards-against-humani... Paul Dean: "The latest edition, which I bought to try very recently, omits some of the cards that have caused the most upset, white cards that have made punchlines of “Passable Transvestites” and “Date Rape,” hopefully because the creators realised that, for some people, “Date Rape” is not the conclusion of a joke, but the conclusion of the worst night of their life. It still includes cards that say “African Children,” “Poor People,” “The Jews” “AIDS”, “Child abuse” and “Amputees.”" Quintin Smith: "To fix this you could try and prune all the offensive cards out beforehand, but it’s no less depressing to imagine someone hunched over a coffee table trying to make their purchase function as a normal game. Or two: you could only play the game with close friends who you know well. Secretly, though, that’s just as terrible. You bought a game you can only ever play with your coolest of cool buddies who don’t get worked up about this kind of thing. And when you finally get it to the table? It can’t offer the giggle-laced panic of Pictomania, the actual wit of Funemployed, the absurdity of Telestrations. It can offer a limitless stream of pseudo-jokes, lacking either player creativity or the guiding hand of a designer."
