i have an ex who lives in not-portland (aka vancouver) but works in pdx and she is a huge fan of all the creepy-pasta, cthulhu, great old ones, whatever excepting one tiny little detail. she's not read word one of lovecraft

anyway there are lots of people in portland, as im sure you know, who would eat that poo poo up for coffeetable display purposes and never bother to read it (tbf his writing is kind of abysmal and racist but like really funny old timey racist)

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

I think you could make a serious argument that the cthulhu mythos was inspired by a phobia of non-whiteness

if you dont want to read books influenced by being pretty racist, you better not read anything written before 1990

and even then

anyone spergy enough to make it as an artist is almost always going to be a shitbag person

Lovecraft was extremely racist, even by the standards of his time. His letters -particularly those between him and Robert Howard - make it obvious that he was actively fixated on white superiority, eugenics, and the degenerate peoples. Racism is a central theme in his work, rather than a bit of historical context.

He stood marry a Jew, but he was the ultimate shut in unemployable goon. He would have pushed aside his 'ideals' if it meant touching another human.

That said I still like his writing.

it's a pretty low tier genre, probably lower than fantasy even.

the "weird fiction" from the late 19th/early 20th is still the best and the most fun to read, if only to enjoy the purple prose and charming anachronisms.

lovecraft, lord dunsany, and william hodgson are good poo poo

I think Ligotti is even more nihilistic than Lovecraft

well, I know he is, because he wrote a book about how human consciousness is the worst of all possible horrors

the colour out of space and dreams in the witch house were pretty good though

at least i remember them being

they both had themes about #whoa crazy non-Euclidean geometry or the color that can not be ... pasty proto-goon loses his poo poo in this One Weird Tale

doctors (of literature) hate him

basically all his mary sues lose their minds when they discover something their brains just can't handle which says a lot about him
