TheLovablePlutonis posted:Howard wrote Conan yelling at an african-like tribal chief holding a white woman hostage that black dogs shouldn't lay their hands on white women but people don't hand wring enough at Conan and low fantasy barbarian stuff as much as they do to Lovecraft and it's retarded that people keep reading stuff made by a New Englander from the early 1900s and trying to apply 20th century racial sensibilities, not to mention that a lot of Lovecraft's racism was too goofy to be even offensive (passing a white gorilla as your wife by putting shoddy makeup and claiming she is Portuguese lmao) howard literally wrote in a letter that he knew what burning black flesh smelled like because he went to a cross burning and like half of conan's about how black people are lower than animals. lovecraft definitely was racist but in a super academic way instead of i literally watched a man burn to death and probably enjoyed it

don't actually know which one's worse but yeah the fact that people wring their hands about how awful lovecraft was and give howard a pass because it's low fantasy is like, what

Stormgale posted:Realtalk where are people doing this? i;ve seen people do it on sa before and i've read short essays from people who defend robert howard's racism because it's just fantasy, chill out. i'll admit though, don't have any of it in front of me and i didn't see it in here. mostly wanted to bring up the cross burning thing becauise not many people know about that letter

TheLovablePlutonis posted:I have no problem with discussing race dynamics on literature, just with making that discussion overtake everything else and dismiss the authors just for that. It's a phenomenon that arrives on certain circles where you can't admit to like certain stuff without being pelted with accusations and what else. I don't care if Lovecraft would retch at the sight of a semitic-looking half-breed latino like me, I still like a lot of his works, and I still agree with a lot of Marx' theories even though he called Ferdinand Lassale something really nasty. yeah this is basically where I am too. it's very important to acknowledge that stuff but lovecraft still wrote some of the best horror ever, howard was a master of pulp fiction and so on. good poo poo comes out of disgusting people sometimes and it's not worth throwing that out because the source is toxic as poo poo

Queen Fiona posted:On the subject of essays, I'm pretty sure people do that for Lovecraft, too. It's more the bit where people give Howard a pass but not Lovecraft, which seems...unlikely? I can see the other way around, since that's kind of already happening, but. i'll see if i can dig some of it, this was poo poo i read literally years ago though

TheLovablePlutonis posted:Good Lord. fair warning, i'm fact checking and trying to see if i can find the source on that and coming up short. i know i read about it in the introduction to a conan collection that led off with tower of the elephant but it looks like the only way to find the primary source is to either find that collection again or sift through a 200 dollar book with dozens of his letters and nah

01011001 posted:It's a worthwhile ability to be able to recognize good things in a work, and to simultaneously acknowledge bad things, without the former excusing the latter or vice versa. it otally agree. you've still got to acknowledge that poo poo though because the whole racial eugenics thing is a major theme of his work and shows up all over the place. i still like the conan books and some of the other robert howard pulp i've read for the most part, but in his personal life he was pretty much a bpiece of poo poo and that shone through in a lot of his work.
