The games made based on his ideas are not racist and that should be the point.

That's what I've been saying...? Saucer's the one concerned about anyone calling Lovecraft racist, not me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just calling it like I see it. Sorry that hurts your feelings. 25 minutes ago, Beta Bux Romeo said: I dont know what happened to Michael but he's literally gone full retard mode in social and political issues lately. Speaking of buthurt. Now are you mad because I Lovecraft wrote a bunch of racist shit, or are you mad that I told you that he wrote a bunch of racist shit? Sounds like you're more offended at being called racist than actually being racist. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You haven't even able to cite one example of his short stories being racist beside the example I gave, much less that they're so filled with racism that "anyone" who reads them knows they're "racist as fuck." Go on, Cliff Claven, cite them. Edited October 11, 2018 by Saucer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The NYTimes was calling for that earlier this week. Their editorial board writer Charles Blow said the Constitution was designed by evil white men to enforce white supremacy and be anti-democratic.

54212 432 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It's realistic scenarios like Dems taking back both houses of the legislature, packing the Supreme Court, and mass riots starting, that I worry about. (And I'm sympathetic to a lot of the left's arguments that the right is the one who started with the needless escalation.) I don't know if I want to stick around for that when I could be hanging out in Vienna instead. Life is short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But Lovecraft wasn't just racist for his time. He was exceptionally racist for his time. Check these out: https://books.google.com/books?id=9bvky2rFTZMC&lpg=PA109&dq=lovecraft anti-semitism racism letters&pg=PA109#v=onepage&q&f=false That's photocopies of his own wife calling him out for being too racist. Here's another where Sonia reminds him that she's one of the ones he hates, and he gives her the good ole "you're one of the good ones" responses: https://books.google.com/books?id=Wk5ixOCy4eMC&lpg=PA222&dq="no longer belonged to these mongrels"&pg=PA222#v=onepage&q&f=false Cook, you gotta understand, I fuckin' love Lovecraft. His contributions to horror are second to none. The only person that I think comes close is Stephen King, and King got all his ideas from Lovecraft anyway. Pennywise is a love letter to Lovecraft. But dude was racist. Dunno why that gets everyone's knickers in a twist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all, but lovecraft is a major influence of the dark tower series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
