That's also why I watied late in the Afton Family Horcruxes script to introduce that idea that Lamar was a bastard.

Making race an issue was already a hotbed topic. I needed people to see that FNAF was speaking out against racism, and that Lamar and Charlie were victims of it, before dropping that second bomb about his status as an illegitimate child.

People have a powerful tendancy to see what they want to see. Breaking them out of that, without offending them to the breaking point, is a bit like defusing a bomb. You have to handle it very, very delicately.
