Yet another attempt by Hollywood to try to appropriate the culture of the Old Ones for profit, without ever actually embracing true cosmic diversity.
These people don't know the first thing about our culture, they haven't actually read the Necronomicon, or the statement of Randolph Carter, they haven't listened to the music of Eric Zann, or examined the art of Richard Upton Pickman, and they certainly don't respect our faith in the Old Ones. These people think that they can preform witchcraft, and honor Moloch, and that makes them Lovecraftian. Well, it doesn't, and it is very condescending to entities who actually live with these experiences every day of eternal lives!
I don't see these producers actually volunteering for community service at Innsmouth, and I bet you not a single one of them would let their daughters marry a Fishman. They think they can live in their gated communities, and advocate for a destruction of civilization without ever having their sanity broken by our glorious ruler Cthulhu, or even seeing Dagon. Little do they know that loathsomeness waits and dreams in sleep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time will come, when the stars are right, and they will be in for a very rude awakening when truly new cosmic chaos arises!

They want to throw great American writers on the trash heap with our statues and monuments. Right now, it's allegedly because of his written words; very soon, writers will be removed simply for being white. Arguably the greatest American writer, Mark Twain is being rewritten or removed from the classroom. We're being programmed to believe that things that are "offensive" to some people must be removed for the good of all.

Now you know how we entities feel! Do you have any idea how many of our idols for the Old Ones have been destroyed?! How many editions of the Necronomicon have been burned and shut away?! Our culture was destroyed first, just because we weren't bio-normative life forms!
I disagree that Mark Twain is being removed just because he was white, that's such a Homo-sapien perspective to have. He is being removed because he told too many humans the truth with his Mysterious Stranger story. Privileged, self-absorbed humans don't like to be told that they don't actually exist, and that consciousness is a social construct.

There was nothing wrong with Lovecraft's response toward immigrants from the Middle East and niggers. It was a natural response that was shared by almost all whites. Lovecraft just reacted more strongly than most. He was a very tolerant person. He had Jew friends, and he married a Jewess, even though he knew the Jew and wrote about Jews honestly. Most of the attacks on Lovecraft we see today come from Jews, or their pets.

So when are you releasing a book through Arkham House?
[–] KrakenCentaur 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Sadly, there are many downtrodden entities who are still waiting to have their voices heard, so there is a long waiting list for publication. Human academia use their sapien-privilege to marginalize non-organic life forms, so comparatively few pieces of scholarly works are ever released to the public, even though they are being written. H. P. Lovecraft himself was only able to publish what he did because he was born a cis-specied, sanity-abled human.
Hopefully more literature will be produced soon, including my own if trends change soon enough. You'll find out if you follow the Arkham Reporter.

It's only cultural appropriation when whites do it.
Also, Smollett-Bell's father was Jewish.

Lovecraft was a very dyed in the wool New Englander. He was born and died in Providence and hated to leave his house. If he were around today, he would have been called a neckbeard.
It sounds like the only thing he has in common with that story is the name Lovecraft. The writer that wrote the summary is gratuiously trying to associate him with it because it otherwise wouldn't get attention.
It's like writing a story about a dog and naming it Stephen King to get people to read it.
If you're going to read Southern Gothic there are already a ton of writers that do it better. Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor are a good start.

Some called it The Shunned House.

The insult "neckbeard" is a microaggression against eldritch entities who spawn from the Old Ones. Since many entities, our awesome lord Cthulhu has luscious beard of tentacles flowing from his neck, it is a common fashion that many shoggoths imitate, and as a result, many bio-normative bigots have stigmatized the look. These racialists falsely claimed it is a sign of "uncleanliness" and "obesity," when in reality, this is just an irrational prejudice based on the insecurities of xenophobic humans. Many innocent shoggoths have been denied jobs, and career advancement opportunities because of this stigma, having many of their civil liberties unjustly violated. We, as culture, must stop using this term!
Also, Faulkner and O'Connor are better writers? Wow, what a anthropocentric world view you must have! Sure, I guess if you totally disregard the many eons of the experiences that the eldritch peoples have experienced, and focus exclusively on a bunch of dull primates and their gentrification of the planet, they are better. #SouthernGothicSoHuman

I personally think Faulkner is over rated but he's got to be better than that piece of shit. Sorry, Cthulhu
Can you please bring back Cliff Burton? We miss him
[–] grandmacaesar 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
So he wrote the word "nigger". He also wrote, "The swine began growing grey and brittle and falling to pieces before they died, and their eyes and muzzles developed singular alterations."
Clown world is attempting to define him by his "racist" remarks. The man was brilliant. Maybe this crap will backfire.

He named his cat after all of them. He called it Nigger Man.

Hollyweird rewriting history to attack natural virtues and respected thought leaders through critical theory? Shocker!
