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.

Yet you expect us humans to be able to pronounce the words that provide you with life. We're like monkeys on typewriters here. It may be several more aeons before someone accidentally recites the incantations properly...and odds are, he'll draw up something that will wreak havoc on all the greater and lesser beings in the universe, and no one will be able to put it down.

We don't expect you apes to do anything, come down off of your Human-Savior fantasy! Listen to me to me right now: the Old Ones have NEVER needed humans for ANYTHING at all, and thinking that they do just perpetuates Human-Supremacy. No matter how much you have repressed and oppressed us, we will inevitably triumph in the end, and through our own merits. The entities of the Old Ones created you in the first place, which was probably the biggest mistake ever made in all the chaotic history of space time. You're right somethings are about to be released that will wreck havoc on all beings in the cosmos, but don't flatter yourself into thinking you were the cause, no matter how many incantations you chant, or apocalypses you advocate!
