Didn't he write a whole story about the horror of involuntary time travel or something? He might be into it. Other than the whole thing with the African president, though I imagine he'd rationalize quickly.

Lovecraft was terrified of things like "outdoors" and "regular, non-mutant penguins" and was so cartoonishly racist that his pal Robert E. Howard became less racist after seeing how ridiculously racist Lovecraft was.

Well I mean, the ocean is in fact a horrible place devoid of all hope, so it checks out.

Also didn't Lovecraft turn around pretty hard on all the racism near the end of his life, I thought I'd read that somewhere. Obviously it doesn't unwrite some of his more unsubtle poo poo he made, but meh.
He didn't become less racist but he did get a lot more socialist towards the end of his life, perhaps due to being a broke adult in the Depression who had some education. He wrote some sick burns on the Republican party that still ring true today!

One of my favorite details in that video is that in the photos of the two of them together, she's happy and exuberant, and normally-proportioned, but the construction he builds in his memory is a vulnerable girl with enormous breasts

How does anyone watch that and not get that its message is a big hard kick to pandering fanservice's dick? "Haha look at dem bomb-rear end tiddies, time to draw this girl as a pony"

It's pretty common for people to look at a creepy thing and go "haha creepy" and not ponder the why or how of it. Especially nerds.

EDIT: For an example, one type of horror that's common in games is glitch horror. Basically the game scaring the player by making them think their game is broken. Stuff like Eternal Darkness, the Scarecrow segments in Arkham Asylum, etc. What makes it work is that instead of just being a horror that attacks the player character, it's a horror that "attacks" the player themselves. Poor imitations of it in fanart and lower-quality games put "glitchy" textures on stuff and leave it at that.

For example, this fanart of a version of Markiplier called "Glitchiplier":

It's not really about pandering fanservice. It's the whole Japanese otaku lifestyle. No hygiene, no social skills, and their entire life revolves around consuming media. While the same thing could be said of western otaku, it's so, so, sooo much worse over there.

I read an article a while back about dating in Japan. It interviewed people who dated otaku/fujoshi, and some of the anecdotes described were loving ridiculous. The scenario in that short is not only believable, it's also pretty low on the weirdness scale.

The kind of people who are super into pandering titty anime tend to also be the kind of people who are actively opposed to critical analysis of media. How many times have you seen people deflect concerns about the messages and implications of their favorite media with "relax, it's just a show/game/wank doll, stop overthinking it." The message in Me!Me!Me! isn't exactly subtle, but you have to at least be willing to accept the possibility that this surreal "lol japan" anime thing is actually trying to tell you something. Add to that the fact that it's a message they don't want to hear and let status quo bias do the rest.

That and people have been missing the message in specific pieces of media for centuries. Plus, it's not like everyone who watches Me!Me!Me! has a deep knowledge about otakus and poo poo. They may be one of the thousands of people who're like 'Eh, I wouldn't say I'm a huge anime fan because I've only watched like three things' but decided to watch Jojo or One Punch Man because it seems to be popular lately.

You could substitute anime women for most any form of harmful escapism really, and sadly a lot of people know at least one person with self-destructive tendencies. So even if they know nothing about the state of Japanese fans they can still reason out the meaning. I think there was some "People react to MeMeMe" video on youtube somewhere that kinda had this.
