Slightly unpopular opinion: All official lore is crap and should be generally ignored. (Even the stuff I kind of like) If I want to play in a world where what I can do is limited by the generic, inoffensive, middle-of-the-road, crowd-pleasing writers at some corporation I'll just play a AAA video game. The ability to be participatory in the creation and evolution of the in-game world is what makes TTRPGs different from consumer media. Why would you give that part up, but still leave yourself with all the cognitive load?
Old world of darkness lore slapped though
There was a bit too much of it, but that actually was the reason I included the 'even the ones I like' part. Old WoD didn't pull its punches, and generally was not middle-of-the-road.
