      It’s definitely a thing. Too little and too late to change the material impact of his work, but he did intend to become less of a reactionary ghoul. He was slowly discovering that Black and Jewish people were actually, y’know, human instead of part ape or whatever. He’d been too scared to really talk to any of them and learn who they were.

      Yeh that’s the other thing about Lovecraft too, he was one of the quiet shut-in racists and not the hooah-kill everyone supremacist racists. Which is why he renounced a lot of the racial vitriol by the end of his life, as he like most every edgy poster at some point ends up realising how absolutely moronic they look.

      He was not a shut in by any measure of the word, he had vast correspondency with young authors and visited many across the east coast.

      Me too. His racism seems to stem precisely from the times that he lived in coupled with his lifestyle. Something I've learned in life is that people can have shitty opinions without being shitty, my parents for instance were vehemently homophobic until my brother came out at which point they rescinded their views.
      Most of these beliefs can only exist in isolation.

Like many others who took influence from him over the years, I'm very glad we can take the good parts and discard the disgusting hate that warped his mind all his life, or at the least reengineer his subtext.

    I think you're right about Lovecraft's racism being hideous even by the standards of his time, but it must be borne in mind that you can employ the "man of his time" defense much more effectively when discussing the racism in Robert E. Howard's work. He subscribed to all sorts of anthropological theories which would be considered discredited pseudoscience today, but which were intellectually acceptable back then. Out of Africa hadn't been established, continental drift wasn't understood, and medical genetics wasn't really explored until after WWII. To a person from that time, segregation and miscegenation laws would have seemed more justified. It wasn't even completely understood that all races were the same species.

    • @TheAngmarbucket
      @TheAngmarbucket Рік тому +5

      No, it was pseudoscience even back then. They didn't know everything we known now but race as a construct was already a thing in the early 20th century--not to mention prior to American chattel slavery the idea of black = inhuman and inferior was a foreign concept for people in ancient and medieval history. W.E.B Dubois published the following in 1915: 'In fact it is generally recognized to-day that no scientific definition of race is possible. Differences, and striking differences, there are between men and groups of men, but they fade into each other so insensibly that we can only indicate the main divisions of men in broad outlines. As Von Luschan says, "The question of the number of human races has quite lost its raison d'être and has become a subject rather of philosophic speculation than of scientific research.'

    This was pretty cringe, lots to bash Lovecraft on but I don't think the various physical and mental health issues that plagued human civilization are funny. I mean really are supposed to laugh at a guy who probably suffered terrible untreaded ptsd or suffered from physical health issues?
    I'll be sure to tell my sister that all the people who disassociated from her after coming out because it was against "god" to chill and her friends will eventually grow up.
    And honestly Lovecrafts views were not as out of the norm as they portrayed, this is a era when Atlantis Atlantis the Antediluvian world was one of the best selling books in the country. It's no surprise that when the Nazi's came up with a lot of their stuff it was the United States of America that they really looked towards.

      @@stevem.o.1185 It is pretty ironic hearing it from the chapo people though, who aren't exactly ideal specimens of humanity. I think Lovecraft is way more talented than the Chapo people. Their comedy is maybe like 2 notches above the kind of stuff that I hear when I drink with my friends. Their politics is dumb too. I don' t think I've ever heard them make a salient point. I've never seen any indication that they have good evidence for their beliefs or even that they are statistically literate enough to evaluate evidence.

    Lets be honest, the reason he blew up in the last 20 years is because all of his 'books' in his flimsy body of work are like 30 pages long. People too stoopid or ADHD ridden to read a real ass book latched on, Metal Gear Solid game manual -> Warhammer Codex -> HP Lovecraft 'novel' -> The Prince by Machiavelli, oh and throw in some comic books but nothing good like Tin Tin or Asterix, too much text in those.

    Gholson~~~~👀👀👃🙏💫💤👾💀☠💩❣💓😼🙀😸😸😼
    Gholson is at the intersection of Farm roads 933 and 1858, twelve miles northwest of Waco in northern McLennan County. The area was settled in the late 1840s, and the community that developed there was called Sardis. Its first school was built in 1854. A post office was established in January 1858, with John S. Bell as postmaster, but it was discontinued shortly after the Civil War. Among the early settlers had been the Gholson brothers, Benjamin and Samuel, and the community gradually came to be called Gholson. A new post office by that name was established in February 1887 with Thomas Rhodes as postmaster. In 1890 the community had a general store and twenty-five residents; by the mid-1890s it had grown to include two churches, a corn mill and gin, two general stores, and seventy-five residents. The post office was discontinued in 1905 and replaced by a rural route from Ross. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, Gholson remained a small farming community; its population was reported as thirty-four from the early 1930s to the early 1970s. In 1975, however, Gholson residents voted to incorporate with a mayor-council form of city government, and the community grew rapidly. Population estimates were as high as 650 in the late 1970s. Either these numbers were inflated, however, or the community underwent a dramatic slump, since only 263 residents were reported in 1980. The population began to grow steadily in the 1980s and was reported as 692 in 1990 and 922 in 2000
