Factual errors in this comic: HP Lovecraft is seen walking outside
Love telling Lovecraft fans who deny his racism to say the name of his cat out loud to my face
HP Lovecraft is just what you get when an anime pfp Twitter Nazi is born 100 years too early
Also not to defend him but for what it's worth he wrote in some of his final letters, when he was dying of colon cancer, that he regrets posting cringe on race and politics back in the day (paraphrased). Also he married a Jewish woman, something she'd have to remind him of when he'd go on long rants about the Jews when they had guests over, which is just fucking wild.
I really got the into Lovecraft and the adjacent genre “weird horror” genre over the COVID-19 lockdown. I like to think that H.P. was both a product of his time, and also uniquely racist. I wonder how his works would have changed had he not died as he began to realize the error of his ways later in life. I wonder him getting over his fears of just about everything would have impacted his storytelling
Also lmao this comic tho :data-laughing:
