I like how he highlighted the racism, Lovecraft was genuinely deranged

[@sleet090th]

That's what HP was known for. A very particular amount of deranged. That being extremely.

[@smtandearthboundsuck8400]

Harry Potter fans having an existential crisis over JK Rowling meanwhile us Lovecraft chads not caring and in fact thinking his racism made his stories better.

⁠@@smtandearthboundsuck8400no one thinks the racism made it better bro

[@smtandearthboundsuck8400]

@@Yelloweyedrobo you literally wouldn't have half of the stories then. Racism is inseparable from Lovecraft's writings because he was using it as an inspiration, wtf do you think Shadow over Innsmouth is referencing?

[@CesarGpe]

[@EmeraldChest312]

You have such a nice voice

[@machinablade7587]

❤❤❤

[@rfurthegamer3412]

I ain’t gonna watch this, did he include the racism?

[@sorbetcafe]

Depends what you mean by racism. I did not include the dated terms for ethnic groups, but the story does have some racist undertones, which is unavoidable in many of Lovecraft's works.

[@rfurthegamer3412]

@@sorbetcafe yeah it’s a shame

[@fingius]

This sounds like racism

[@sorbetcafe]

This story does contain some insulting depictions of different cultures and ethnicities, and I did decide to edit out a few of the dated terms for different groups. The story can't really be unlinked from some racist undertones, and that's the case in many of Lovecraft's works. The strange/degenerate cults that he writes are practiced by strange/degenerate people, and to Lovecraft those people were foreigners of "uncivilized" cultures. Ultimately, the choice is either to not read Lovecraft's works, or to read them with an acknowledgement of the undertones.
