Treating a terror of folklore as a horrifying creature should be considered a respectful interpretation. I would also like to ask how one could be seriously and deeply affected by this interpretation of the wendigo. Often times making a creature up instead of using one already known gives it less gravity, especially in a short game with not much room or budget for a triple A horror monster set up with hours of in game lore. Even supposing that it WAS wrong the concept of the wendigo has already become a worldwide cultural mainstay. There is no way to purge it from media exactly how genies not going anywhere. Why not take the opportunity to enlighten others about the concept when it comes up and congratulate respectfully made and creative pieces? No one will get through to people by being upset/upset for other people and shaming them. It is just not an effective policy.
